    What does Maidei look like?? I can't get the link to work.

    I'm tentatively in, depending on when, etc. Won't be for many months in my neck of the woods (listening to the cold wind howling). I suspect I may be the closest one to StaceySue (SS - I live near Calumet). It's possible there may be closer people, but I don't know of any. If Stacey is where I think she is, then it's about 175 miles. I'd need to have time to build up some mileage base next season, figure out camping, find a suitable timeframe, etc. So I'm a definite maybe. I want to, but it could be logistically difficult.

    This is a truly cool idea.

    I live near Rapid River. I do have a cycling friend who lives in Gladstone but has a lot of family in Houghton and visits there often. I could get her to join. I'd love to go for a really long tour - just depends on when Maidei comes here and when I can get vacation time.

    It's great to know that there's another yooper on here!

    I have some unassigned Travel Bug tags. Would there be any interest in giving Maidei a TB tag? Then she'd have her own bug page with a map and mileage on www.geocaching.com, too.

    journey

    Ok, here's what I hoped could happen in terms of getting it from Oz to NZ to the Northern Hemisphere.

    I'll pass it to Trekhawk & then i'll post it on to (if she's happy to & is out there still!) Postiechic in Melbourne from there it'll venture to Canberra to Cyclegoddess and Jaydee (if i can track her down..) on to Sydney then up to Brissie then to Cairns. This is if people agree to it!

    Our Cairns contingent would then send it to NZ..Dunedin (will have to track the person down) to Christchurch to Wellington, Napier(if i can contact Roadraven), Auckland.

    From Auckland next stop, Singapore.

    Do ya think from Singapore it could be sent to Chile?

    Communication is the key here & have no idea who knows who...

    Thought I'll post under this thread of general questions, instead pf other real journey thread that is devoted to with Maidei's trip photos so far in Aussieland:

    After cyclegoddess, how many more Australian TE cyclists will accompany Maidei? After NZ, it's Hawaii where someone is moving there? Admittedly I find this loopy journey fascinating.

    It goes a like this yo:

    Perth-Canberra-Brisbane-Cairns(?)-Auckland-Napier(?)-Wellington-Christchurch-Dunedin then i dunno...

    You'll have to ask MillieNZ about the journey after Dunedin...it's up to the NZ chickas to decide.
