Went for a ride today, only 16 miles. With temps in the 20's I froze my toes, but the sun warmed my heart all the way through. This was the first ride since adding fenders. You know what about fenders? They rattle. I think with racks and panniers I'll be protected from road spray so I'm not sure that I'll keep the fenders. I'll leave them on for now, but stay tuned.
Rock Chalk Jayhawks!

Cycling across America from Williamsburg, Va to Florence, OR.
The Dream
I have long had a dream of cycling across America, but I could never talk my boss into a three month vacation. April 2nd I will retire and May 4th I will begin a TransAm ride with Adventure Cycling Association. The ride begins in Williamsburg, VA travels through 10 states and 4305 miles later ends in Florence, OR. This blog is about this dream. Another passion of mine is photography. I will be traveling with my Canon 50D DSLR and an Olympus Stylus 790 SW camera. Between now and May 4th I will post information and pictures of my preparation for the ride itself. Then on the ride I will post pictures of people, places and landscapes from the road. This will be a pictorial documentery of my dream. I hope you will check back often and enjoy the dream with me.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowline, sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore, Dream, Discover."
