Already today I have booked a library and projector to do a little talk about my bike ride. Maybe there will only be one, or maybe more. I don't know. If anyone would like me to talk to them, their group, their class, or in their town (probably only in my general area or in Ontario, at least, contact me here and I'll see what I can do. I should have things ready by the beginning of January.

Now back for a few weeks, standing in deep snow above my knees, and with the temperature down to -44 C tonight... I kind of wonder how I felt it was cold in Spain. Anyway, this past Monday, January 5, 2004, I was featured on page 3 of the Timmins Press. It was a nicely written account of the end of my trip and my return.

Then on Wednesday, January 7, 2004, CBC northern Ontario contacted me for a final interview as well. As well, the Cochrane Times Post did an interview which will be printed in the January 16th edition of the paper - the same night and town as the first presentation.
