You have got to be kidding me, that is all I can say.<br /><br />Wonderful story abut your backpacking and inspiration.

It is such a poser way to win.<br /><br />Anyways I enjoyed your daily log of the event and look forward to more posts. I ride many of the same roads you do and felt connected by your words to the roads north of Boston. Though I ride year-round, I was humbled a bit by the distance you covered on some of those cold, cold days. You won by a long shot in my book.

It is sometimes hard for so many of us to keep our own rides, goals and experiences in the front of our heads on our bike, and not get challenged or influenced overly by someone else's bike life. There are so many good ways reasons to ride a bike, all personal. I like to push the wheels around and see, smell, experience the world around me. I am very glad to have found your site!Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02239061606614863185noreply@blogger.com
