That's How I Roll

I'm not a cyclist. But I'm going to ride cross-country. My friend recently asked me, "Well, what will you call yourself when you ride, then?" Hmm, an adventurer! I like to explore, and doing it via bicycle is my next big thing. In 2009, I hiked from Georgia to Maine. Shortly after, I realized that I can cover twice the distance in half the time. If that doesn't scream cool, then I don't know what does. So I bought a shiny blue Surly, my new ticket to freedom, and it's been uphill ever since.

I'm going going, back back, to...Seattle

It's never really real, until that one-way plane ticket is purchased. Well, consider it really real. The so-cheap-it's-unheard-of fares backed me into a corner and made me choose a date, seconds before clicking "purchase." And within a few hours, POOF, my entire plan for the West coast fell neatly into place, without even trying. I love how that happens, like magic.

Five days after my 31st birthday, I'll swap the East coast for the West coast, and will not see the ocean again until I dip my front wheel into the Atlantic. I have some super-secret sneaky plans up my sleeve for my arrival back home, but I'll keep them to myself for now.

T minus 74 days...I think? (math was never my strong point, people!)

Where I'll probably spend half a day, eating all kinds of junk

I can't wait for you to hit the ground there! SO wish I could be there. I've been cooking up a list of to-dos for you. PS. Um, what is this sneaky plan, you tease?
