During my gap year, which as i write this has just started, I will be cycling solo from the west coast of Canada in Vancouver, British Columbia to Halifax, Nova Scotia on the east coast. This will involve around 7,000km of cycling in roughly 90 days, averaging 83km per day (including rest days consisting of lots of eating, sleeping and wilderness and mountain critter appreciation).

To Follow my trip, please go to www.benstranscanada.blogspot.com, I'll be updating as often as I can, with a report, pictures, and videos of the trip.

I intend to make this a charitable event, to raise money for help for heroes, a charity which supports soldiers, seamen, and airmen (and women respectively) who have become injured, lost limbs or suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.
