Big Picture Stuff

In case I haven't spoken with you in a while, here are the big items on my calendar for the next few months:

I've been accepted into an MBA program at Harvard, which I will start in September.  Before I leave for Boston, I have three, 2-week cycling trips planned.  All of them are with UK touring company "Bike Adventures".  (See link to their webpage in this blog's link section.)  I'll return to work in Toronto between the trips.

First is France.  From April 29th to May 14th I will cycle from Calais (on the English channel at the "top" of France) to Stes-Maries-de-la-Mer (on the Mediterranean at the "bottom).  Total distance is about 1,350km.  (vs. 7,800km for the trip across Canada).

Next is England and Scotland.  Roe, my girlfriend that I met on the trip across Canada, and I will ride from Lands End (southwest England) to John O'Groats (northeast Scotland) from June 10th to June 25th.

Last day of work at CIBC (at least pre-MBA work) is July 28th.

Finally, my friends Ryan and Jenn will join me on a tour around Ireland from about August 4th to August 21st. 

Then, is off to Boston on August 29th for "Orientation".

Should be a pretty great summer, eh?
