At the time, I classified myself as a touring cyclist... my touring activities included working but I was still moving from one locale to another.
The transition becomes blurred I am not sure when I ceased being a touring cyclist in that particular period -- probably when I moved into fixed accommodation on the farm where I started working full-time.
