First blog post

OK, OK so I’m supposed to understand the Blog site before I start this EPIC SHIT stuff.  Well I’m doing it now.  Many people have ridden their bike across the USA.  Why am I doing it?  Not sure.  Someone told me to. I think I have the ability and the time to do it.  Become a better person.  How could I get any better? Win the most stories contest.

What I feel like now:

  • With friends and family supporting this or actually doing it with me, I’m starting to tear up.
  • All the planning and training isn’t so bad, so far.
  • I feel like I am becoming a little more self reliant.  That was the number one thing my lovely wife Sarah told me to work on when I retired.  Become more self reliant would you please.
  • I’ve told too many people now so failure is a bigger deal than I thought it would be.
  • After doing numerous rides of 100 miles my crotch hurts, I need to stretch my back, sometimes my hand goes numb, some towns really are shitholes, it’s going to be hot and cold.  What the hell?  I thought it would all feel like I was transcending.

I like to see the weird stuff and write about it. Only people who know me will laugh.

If you ever are feeling low – just think of the damn turtle you threw in the lake (under our pontoon – he made it didn’t he!!! ) You have what it takes – strength- endurance and a sense of humor which God knows you will need through this amazing journey!!! Enjoy and be safe! Taylor says “support GAC for life” he thought that would crack you up!!!
