Advice: Are my friends (and me) insane?

I just got back a fortnight ago from cycling London - Valencia (beat you, CG! :-D), that was an awesome trip, but one thing I learnt is that cold weather is better than hot weather any day. I was wanting to get to Gibraltar but by the time I hit Spain it was 40+ temperatures every day, you can't cycle in that. I gave up and went back to France.

Crossing Canada by bike, aside from the hills, I think sounds awesome, and the temperature will probably be pretty nice around now. The Canadians have a lot of respect for cyclists too so it should be really safe. Just zone out and push those pedals, I think it sounds like a great project - do it!

Grrrr. Maybe I should quit my job and go do the Baltimore-San Francisco thing next summer. Then we'll see who's the winner!!

I was in Morocco in June, and I met a couple guys who'd cycled from Madrid and down along the Moroccan coast (actually, one of them had started in Korea). I remember being in awe, because it was boiling hot.
