Hi,

I've had this desire to go on an expedition at some point in my life and so had this great and totally not crazy idea to bike from Las Vegas up to Canada and around in about 6-9 months.

I know that's going to be a really easy time frame for most of you, but I want to detour a lot to see all of the cool attractions along the way and well,like the title says I'm a complete newbie cyclist. Like 'the last bike ride I enjoyed was when you had to pedal backwards to brake' kind of newbie cyclist. But my partner is a bit better and will be the one actually steering (tandem) and using the gears and whatnot, so I'm not completely insane.

So jeah, that's my reason for joining.
