Island time

Well, I’m not fully loaded touring bicycle
Honeymoon a year after we are married.

When someone says, “Have you ever bicycled across a state or across the Country?”, what’s your answer?

Can you imagine saying, “Of course” to one or both?

Early June…6,643′ at Logan Pass Visitor’s Center parking lot. Iconic Mt Clements.

We come to know the true meaning of Thanksgiving when we learn to celebrate it everyday.

Read my clouds

Sensing a need to modify plans and cut the Logan Pass visit distinctly short.
Sunny going up. Decent at reading the mountain clouds (the ones you can see anyway) and something told me to descend now, not later.

Read my clouds.

Kinda like read my lips.

What part of you better get off the mountain or the weather may trap you there and make your descent wet, freezing, and absolutely miserable.

Wet, cold, and wind chill from the weather and the bike’s descent.

Lean into discomfort

Leaning into discomfort is most easily accomplished by doing things that you’ve never done before.

Sometimes the only reason you’ve never down something before is simply because you haven’t tried.

Try.

And about as exciting as planning that solo cross country bicycle trip

iPhone 6 box

 

(photo: The most sophisticated pocket computer ever created also doubles as a phone – the future is here?)

One hundred days ago the call was initiated to talk about the future. It was made from the older, less sophisticated iPhone 5s. But only 100 days ago the iPhone 5s was the most sophisticated pocket computer known to humans.

And as the future approaches one day at a time, we barely notice.

Yet the future is a once-in-a-life-time milestone.

Scary for sure. Exciting for sure.

Personally, it’s about as exciting as planning that solo cross country bicycle trip back in ’82.

The notion of riding (solo) a bicycle from Pennsylvania to Washington State with only $75 in your pocket.

Impossible is nothing.
