It's Time to Ride!
It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.
--Ernest Hemingway
--Ernest Hemingway
You actually learn a lot more about a country than just the contours. I’m not going to criticize Hemingway for that description, he is correct, as far as he goes. I would add that there are opportunities along the way to learn a lot more…
For the next three months or so (if all goes according to plan) I’ll be posting a daily entry here describing my bicycle ride across the country. Each entry will contain a photo and a story about the day. If it’s not too bold to say, I hope to make Hemingway proud. I also would be gratified to have you join me on my adventure.
Wish me luck!
The thoughts here are mine and mine alone.
I hope you find them useful, or perhaps even enjoy them.
