Trip Map - From Banff - To Toronto

Bike Adventure - Setting up

Why this trip :

The right question is : why not?
It is always a good opportunity to dare ourselves, visit new places and meet people.  Of course, it is also an excellent moment of the year to exercise outside, and nothing is better than a good bike ride across the best backyard that I know, the Nature.

This trip is an old dream from my childhood. So far, one thing that I've learned about life is if you have a dream you have two options: or you make it to become true and enjoy it or let it be vanished among all the projects that never came out from the paper and learn to live a life of excuses.

It is time to bring action to life!

Sponsorship :

This trip has no sponsor but myself.  If you are trying to get some sponsor to your project, be aware of the following points:

1)     Does your project give any tax deduction?

2)     Does any company know you or your project?

3)     What is the visibility that your project gives to the general public?

4)     Are you trying to contact the potential sponsors with enough time?

5)     Did you prepare a good material explaining your project?

6)     Did you choose companies that have affinities with your project?

7)      What are the project risks?

8)     Do you know the total cost of your project?

9)     Do you have a action plan for the project?

10) Do you know what you are doing?

But don’t give up, and remember : to fail is just one part of the process of being successful.
