T Minus 2 days

“Now, I shall tell you where we will holiday. We're gonna go where people pretend they wanna go when they can't afford to go someplace good -- we're gonna see America. We take no map, we'll follow the sun. We'll stay in cheap motels and steal what we need along the way. We go west, past the cheese factories, where the air is fresh, sky is big, and a man can still kill his dinner with his car. Guys, tomorrow we put the pedal to the metal and we ride with the wind.”


Since I sent out the PR, it’s seems I need to make mention of some corrections and clarifications:

- Yes the date was wrong, I am in fact leaving on July 2nd, the same day the Tour de France starts. The only doping I will be doing will be a shot of Jamison and a beer at the finish.

- If you get tired of watching the Tour and watching Bob Roll’s overwhelming hand gestures, stop over and read what brilliant commentary I have added about corn fields and road kill.

- Question was asked several times “Are you doing this on a single speed.” Although my preferred method of bicycle transportation is the beloved single speed, I will be riding my road bike, which is my own personal brand, “Wesley”, named after my dad. FYI, this “company” exists only in my head at the moment. So Wesley bikes are not yet available, maybe next year.

- Next question, where to send donations:

Mended Little Hearts of Colorado Springs

1342 Edith Lane

Colorado Springs, CO 80909

What else can I say on my first post. Sitting at the Childhood Obesity Conference in San Diego thinking about how in the world this is going to go down. Temps are soaring in the hundreds across the Great Plains, legs are in dire need of a good shave, and beard is coming in nicely.
