If you're even half serious I reckon that'd be fabulous. I'd even join you...

By my calculations, however:
5000km from SF to Q, and traveling on average 25km per day (taking
into account rest days) that would be about
200 days, so you should have started several IETFs ago.

Perhaps IETF 84 in Vancouver is a better option? That's only 1600km.

Either way, getting there is one thing, agistment during the meeting is another.

Then again as an alternative to soccer... or at least an activity for
afterwards...

and I bet *your* customs won't clean your riding boots for you on return!
