I Believe I’m Making Progress

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

As it turns out, the Peace Corps is a no go for now. Quite possibly, I will have another shot in the future, but at this time I’m locked into Plan “B”. I’ve decided that since I love to travel and have a passion for bicycling as well, the next step should be to combine the two and do a North American tour on two wheels. I have been planning this for a a number of months because I always try to have a back-up. I have the touring bike and all related equipment and hope to pull anchor around the middle of July, which is a bit later than I would have liked to start, but since I was at the mercy of the government, it’s necessary to accept the time frame and just do it. Having done a backpacking trip from the Pacific to the Atlantic, which was back in the 70’s, I feel somewhat familiar with the concept. This seems ( the bike trip ) to offer a little more flexibility on where I am able to go. I’ve checked other sites ( related to bike touring ) that offer blogs by members , but I prefer BnA, and plan to use this as I go. Now comes the most difficult part, waiting until I can ride away on a new adventure.
