It has been a fairly quiet week for me. Most of my time has been spent researching bicycles and networking with people to secure places to stay while crossing the country.

Choices

In between working and training for my trip I have been feeling kind weird the last few days. Not sure why really, but I think it has something to do with my planned cross country blast. It is only 2 and a half weeks away at this point. Honestly I am a little scared of the whole thing, I am →

Cue the monologue

Oh fu.... (cue internal monologue) This must be what a lawn dart feels like. I look down at my feet and I see clouds between my shoes, I don't want to look above my head.

Life is like a box of Soap!

I have been spending more time on my bicycle lately since none of my electronics work. The biggest thing I have learned is when you pedal long distances you have a lot of time on your hands to think.

Puuuuuushhhh!

So in the midst of all my other toys breaking, I bought myself a bicycle. It is my first road bike since I was 10 I think. I got on it and pedaled out about 25 miles today it felt really nice to zip along the road. My Ibook is in the shop and I wont have it for another 2 →
