- Because we each offer unbounded enthusiasm for every scheme that the other one proposes.
- Because it will be a hard and satisfying and unspeakably pretty ride.
- Because biking is a sustainable and supercool form of transportation.
- Because Melissa is attending a conference there and it's one of Megan's all-time favorite cities.
- Because it gives us an excuse to play with our bikes and make them better.
- Because Melissa will be moving away to start a PhD at MIT while Megan continues her PhD at Northwestern, and we want a big circus of awesomeness and fun before that happens.
Before we go, we will be posting about our training, gear, route(s), fundraising efforts, lodging plans, and more. We plan to leave Chicago on July 10, 2008, and arrive in Montreal on August 10, 2008, and we will document the whole ride with posts and photos here. During our months of preparation and training, we welcome your wisdom, warnings, suggestions, and support with regard to any aspect of the trip.
As ever and always, you are invited to join us for any portion of the ride!

Oh Canada..
I am subscribing to your blog so keep the updates coming.
Bonne chance!
How do you subscribe to this blog? I want to too!
On the main blog page, scroll down to the bottom of the page. You will see "Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)". Click on that and you can add it to Google Reader or Google Home Page. You can also copy the RSS address into any RSS reader. Do you guys have a fundraising site yet? I can help with that if you like. I need some practice anyway.
Yes! fundraising! Who can say no to money? :) Does it have to be a separate site or can it be housed within this blog, just so we have less to manage? I really like having thermometers or other tracking devices so people can see the cumulative amount.
To the Cyclists biking to Montreal:
