I'm back!!!!!

I made it. I rode a bicycle from San Diego California to Saint Augustine Florida, with 12 equally insane people. This is the gang at the Atlantic ocean. Have missed my CH family, glad to be heading home.

You'll never be the same again Joe.  I'm proud of you for living your dream and very glad you didn't try it all alone like you were going to do in the beginning.

   Hope you adjust to being home quickly.

Livin' la Vida Loca!  Your journal was hilarious.

BTW, if Christy hasn't told you, there will be a test 9at convention, of course)  on how well you can pronounce the names of some of those towns in south Louisiana, bonus points if you can spell them  Grin

That had to be an adventure. next time you ask me to go for a ride, I'll be sure to ask where we're going. Can't wait to here the stories.

Welcome back Brother,   Don

Congratulations on completing your epic trip.

This should be an inspiration to people here to show that CHs don't stop you getting on with life and doing quite amazing feats.

So what is next on the list?

Wow!  I am so amazed and proud of your accomplishment.  I wanted to go on a bicycle trip from LA to San Francisco riding down Hwy 1 when I was 16 with the Girl Scouts.   However, I was not selected for this wider opportunity and was instead selected for an international opportunity to go live with a family in Mexico for a month.  I was bumbed out I really wanted the bike trip and I was so upset I didn't get it I turned down the trip to Mexico.  One of lifes regrets.  I did however, as a girl scout bike all over the state of Wisconsin and its hills, bluffs, and valleys every summer and camped out in the evenings and eating over an open fire.  I miss those days!  Good for you for pursuing your dreams and desires.

I guess it is official ... you are insane!!! My sympathies to Christy.  Though seeing as she followed you out there she's well on her way too Wink

Glad you made it safely Joe...  Like I said on fb, quite an accomplishment.

Where there is life, there is hope.
Where there is Oxygen, you must use proper caution.
So be safe, don't smoke while using O2. Kill the pain and not yourself.
