Wow, I feel blessed to have shared (as an observer) in your journey. I don't want to rush you, and God knows you deserve a rest, but please put it all together, poems, photos and daily entries. A book? So much substance and flow in this grand trek!
Brenda. I will do something. Maybe something along the lines of Eco, surreal, part real part fiction. Many of my fav. authors did the cross America pilgrimage, Miller, Twain, of course Kerouac - they wrote some fine books about it, showed more of who they truly are and what they valued. All the beautiful people I've been blessed with, were with me on the journey - like YOU. Many low points I didn't share, personal but I've overcome, we shall overcome ...
Congrats and well done! I remember reading about Ed Whitlock years ago and being totally blown away by his achievements. Crazy to think that many of his miles were run in a local cemetery!
How did the G.1 hold up? And breakdowns? It sure is great value for the dollar and surprisingly fun to ride.
Yes, almost all his miles. And not any speedwork, Ed thrived on daily 3 hour runs LSD, long slow distance - even though he was full of fast twitch muscle.
The bike is like an F1 now without the 14kg extra weight. I biked yesterday, my first rest day, couldn’t resist and Rocky flew. I could roll at 30mph flat. Will take it out on some gravel before I raffle it off. But overall, broke one spoke, 66 historic is a rough, unmaintained highway, cracks all over, bang bang. But the spoke was all. Kenda tires got worn, began to lose air, replaced with quality specialized 32mm, thinner tires and not a problem since. I willl sum up for the G1 group thoughts soon but it is solid as a rock, as long as you distribute the weight and take care.

Sometimes there is more truth in fact+fiction than fact alone :-). We shall overcome, yes. The song is now on a beautiful loop in my head.
Exactly. So true. Our own histories are very fictional despite our protests.
The Legend comes home. Wow. I'm proud of an in awe of you.
Respect!
Thanks. It takes a community n fellows like you for one to do like I did. Find your own journey.
What a trip you made! Congrats!
