Well today is the day I was finally going to decide to do this...but I didnt..I had a last minute rush of anxiety about the weather in september October in the rockies and changed my plan to ride east west to riding west east. I've spent the last month rushing around getting the gear together, buying new kit, servicing my bike and educating myself on matters of GPS and smartphones etc...wow..technology is amazing but sometimes I wonder if life is long enough to master it lol! Now here I sit ready to book the flights, and trying desperatly to master this blog!
