I was at a party on the weekend, and a conversation went something like this...
Dude with beard and trucker hat: "So, you're riding the whole thing, from Canada to Mexico?"
Me: "Yep"
Dude: "How long will it take?"
Me: "46 days"
Dude: "Do you carry your own gear the whole way?"
Me: "Uhhh, no we have a sag wagon"
Dude: "Huh. Wimp!"
(It turns out, by the way, that this Dude is a multiple national cyclo-cross champion, whose brother was an Olympic mountain biker).
Tough crowd.
It is kinda cheating. You should have to do the whole thing with just a Bowie knife and a box of matches. You kill one bear and that should feed you for the whole trip....
