Must have been hell to track, nearly as hellish as my business expenses and revenue tracking but possibly even more annoying! :) Only fanatical dedication to such a project would give reliable stats. Wonder if you found a trick or a device to do this. Now that 2010 is here, I could do the same out of curiosity... :) (tho i have 3 plane trips already planned this year - 2 weddings and a climbing trip...) I need to get an extrabike or a trailer or something. This is really awesome!

I'm more likely to take my trusty old <a href="http://valdodge.com/2009/04/21/things-you-can-move-with-your-bike-1/" rel="nofollow">BOB Yak</a> on a long ride like that; it's much more suited to long-distance hauling. The cottage is also just 25 km from the nearest regularly-serviced train station (and about the same from the two closest bus terminals), so non-car intermodal trips wouldn't be unreasonable. All that said, I'm sure that the car will be our primary transportation to and from the cottage. As for the sauna, research is underway but construction may not begin until next year.

I take it you will only be travelling there and back by bike? That bike trailer should come in handy for trips to da back woods. Remember, build the sauna first, so you can sleep in it while you build the cottage. Cottage? I take it you will only be travelling there and back by bike?
