Really in 1996, the first time I did a charity event for a 2 day, 150 mile ride, the seed for this adventure was planted. By March of 2009, it burst out in a Facebook rant &#8211;<br \/>\n  &#8220;It&#8217;s a fantasy. One that bugs me right now. I&#8217;d like to do it. I COULD do it. Ride south across Amerika, or what you will. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcMr. Intrepid wanders the world on the long bike.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 A part of me would really like that. I&#8217;d be better with responsibilities I care for to stay put and earn every dollar I can, pay the bills while we still can, care for my partner, stick it out, make choices together. That&#8217;s my life and that call is stronger than the fantasy. But the fantasy haunts, and is difficult to let go. I checked it out &#8211; the rationale [in 2009} to hang it on is a wedding for my nephew in Boca Grande, Florida on May 9. I could get there, by bike, from here. Start about a month from now, south a day to Chicago, stay with my friend Eric there. South on Day Two on a bike path I haven&#8217;t seen into Indiana &#8211; there is a Warm Showers host who is willing in Hebron, In. And so on. I could do it. 1660 miles.

I was talking to my friend Chuck on Saturday \u00e2\u20ac\u201c If I hadn&#8217;t imagined, in 1993, that I could DO 35 miles on a bike, I&#8217;d never have had the thrill of riding down the I-279 expressway in Pittsburgh.
