After decades working in the next town over commuting to the same job year in year and year out I found an opportunity to travel with work. My current gig has me doing cybersecurity training and emerging tech outreach across Canada. In the past couple of months I've been coast to coast to coast in Canada, but because it's still fairly new to me I'm not making best use of it just yet.
A good example is a trip I have to Vancouver next week. If I were crafty I'd have the Tiger shipped out to Vancouver the week before, pick it up for the week of work across Vancouver Island and then begin the ride home starting on Sunday morning. At sub 500km days I could do an eight day trek home:
The tricky bit would be finding the time to ride back, eight days costs more than just dollars.
What's nice about the one way nature of this is that you get to see everything once and soak it up. If I could stretch it to ten days I'd slow things down in the Rockies, perhaps spending a day doing a loop out of Jasper.
Later this summer I'm in Charlottetown and Antigonish, Nova Scotia. That'd make for an even better cross country ride... truly coast to coast. Doing this sort of thing would get the Tiger north of 100,000kms this summer!
