Cross-US has never interested me. I have thought about Cross-Canada a time or two, but I have just never been able to get up enough interest to do it.
Rowan did most of a west-east cross-Australia before he met me, and I did quite a bit of a north-south cross-Australia when we were just getting to know each other.
We've both cycled just about all the way across France, between Brest and Strasbourg, but half of that was the Paris-Brest-Paris.
