Canada Coast To Coast 2007 is a touring bicycle journey across Canada from Victoria in British Columbia to St John's in Newfoundland.  Occupying the northern half of the North American continent, Canada is the second-largest country in the world after Russia. From east to west, Canada encompasses six time zones, ten provinces and three territories. Because of the harsh northern climate, only twelve percent of the land is suitable for agriculture. Most of the population lives within a few hundred miles of the southern border with the United States, where the climate is milder.

The adventure will cover approximately 5,100 miles over a period of 3 months commencing on July 1st 2007.  No support vehicles will be provided, this challenge will be a completely unsupported ride requiring the participants to carry their life on their bike from start to finish.

The individuals that have decided to take up the challenge are Andrew Baker (Hacky) and Ben Knock (Knocky).  Andrew is an Australian who currently lives in Dubai, UAE whereas Ben is English and resides in London, England.  Neither can clearly remember the origins of the idea but one thing is for sure, initially this was to be a self-indulgent challenge, until now......

Rather than using the trip soley as a personal challenge, an attempt will be made to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support via Just Giving.  It is hoped that the money raised can help others benefit from the hard work that has been put into the organisation of this trip and the effort that will be put in to the spinning of those wheels!!!
