”Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you live.” -Mark Twain
Im getting excited. Less than one months before I start my TransAm tour. I don’t take Mark Twain’s precaution lightly, but I have done this before and the first thing I did the last time was grow a pair of eyes in the back of my head. I haven’t been using them much lately, skiing doesn’t really require them, but I tested them last night and they seem to be working fine.
I’m going to go solo, and I’m thrilled with the proposition. There might be no better way to get in touch with yourself than a long solo bike tour. My goal when I’m finished is actually two-fold, know thy self, and appreciate the other people in my life that much more. Not a bad goal I’d say.
I might be able to spend some time reading a book or two along the way, not to mention write about the experience here.
Stay tuned. It all begins in less than a month!
