    Poor Madei. At this rate it's gonna take her five years to make it to the left coast.
    Goodspeed, Little Madei.

    That's ok, she has plenty of vacation saved up. I'm pretty sure she'd rather take her time and not feel rushed.

    I nominate that someone anywhere near the Canada. U.S. border take her...states near there or she enter into Canada into Ontario, Quebec or Saskatchewan. Or anywhere else heading northwest.

    Maidei could come to me in April. I'm in Alberta. NWNBY are you interested out there in Edmonton before Calgary?

    Then she could join me back to Vancouver around Easter where I could do a hand-off.

    Looking forward to pics, Trek-chick!

    Maidei had a great time skiing with me for a week in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. The drive took us 11 hours but it was worth it. I finally got to ski powder for the first time We do not get that down by where I live too much. Maidei and I were knee deep in the fluffy powder a few days. We hit the downhill ski area first, then did a lot of XC skiing. We even did the 14 mile trip to Lake of the Clouds.

    I did notice that all the trails we XC skiied on were used as bike trails in the summer.......maybe, next time maidei

    Here are some photos of our trip...
    You can see Maidei on the Mackinac Bridge, downhill skiing with me (it was bitter cold though, with winds coming off Lake Superior) all covered up Brrrrrrrrrr

    Maidei at Lake of the Clouds overlook and doing some XC ski trails.

    She had a blast and is ready to move on....

    I'll be glad to take her next. She can see the beauty of the prairies in winter

    So inkspot, are you meeting with Ambikes when Maidei comes around to your neck of the woods, oops sorry it's the prairies?

    Actually it's cool how Maidei is helping hook up folks.

    A tad backwards, but I could take her in Ontario after Manitoba. If not- send her on out west....

    Just to let folks know, inkspot the TE forum member who has Maidei, is recovering from a car accident when she was visiting San Francisco.

    She's back home in Saskatchewan. She does feel abit sore and banged up.

    No life threatening injuries thank goodness.

    Oh! I'm sorry to hear that - but glad it wasn't worse. Hope Maidei is enjoying plenty of trashy TV and whatever else makes them both feel better!

    So Maidei got a taste of Bike to Work Day in Calgary. She also went on a bison ride, was a bike-pedestrian path by Elbow River.

    More pics and her impressions of Bike to Work Day (very different than Vancouver) in this city, plus how she assesses gourmet creme puffs, is in a blog post here.
