A short time has passed since the completion of our ‘adventure’. I have had a difficult time with the idea that ‘this’ blog like our ‘adventure’ has to come to an end. I will miss my ‘daily’ writing. In some ways it became a ‘connection to reality’ and in many ways ‘therapeutic’. On the days when the weather did not cooperate, the hills seemed never ending, the muscles ached, the butt hurt, and the mind played games with my confidence, the ‘blog’ was a constant. It was ‘rare’ that I did not want to ‘share’ a part of our day. As I have said before, there is a lot of ‘idle mind time’ while riding a bicycle hour after hour and day after day. Many of those hours were spent coming up with ideas that would be shared. Bottom line the ‘blog’, just like the whole ‘adventure’, has been both ‘fun’ and ‘rewarding’.
I would like to thank all of the people who have taken the time to follow my ‘ramblings’ on the blog as we crossed this vast country. It has been fun to share our experiences with you.
I would be very remiss if I did not thank all of our friends and family who shared in and made this adventure possible. You know who you are!!! Without your help and support Sue and I would never have been able to make our ‘dream’ a ‘reality’.
We have enjoyed a ‘nomadic life’ for over 4 months. Our re-integration into ‘normal’ society, we suspect, will be a difficult one. We have been asked numerous times since our return what our next adventure will be. We do not know for sure. Rest assured we are not finished with our bicycles!
It is only fitting that the blog be ended with our adventures’ motto. What we did not know when we came up with it was how ‘prophetic’ it would become.
”LIFE ISN’T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS...IT’S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN”
