“There is a fundamental opportunity for happiness right within our reach, yet we usually miss it while we are caught up in attempts to escape pain and suffering.” Pema Chodron
So once again I am attempting a long distance, self-contained bicycle excursion. I have been reading a lot of material for encouragement and inspiration. Documentation of this adventure will also be a daunting task but one that I will be grateful for in the future. In about 5 months I will take off for Rapid City, South Dakota; destination Mount Rushmore.
Still in the planning stages at the moment; multiple routes are being examined. Looking in getting a new bike also, not sure how that is going to work out just yet. It sure would be nice as the Cannondale is in need of a major overhaul. Have been checking out the Rocky Mountain Sherpa (dream bike!), have to come up with the funds.
I am determined to complete this trip and not get derailed like last summers trip. My failure to complete last years trip creates more of a challenge in completing this one.
