September 16, 2009Around the World on Two Wheels

Perusing the information superhighway, I came across this video by Scott Stoll. I figure we can always use some inspiration to go out there and rock the world, in a good way. It also reminded me of the many places on my to-do list, not to mention this little story: a few years ago, while still living at my parents, the doorbell rang. I went and answered and some dude asked for my parents. I went to get my mom. It turns out the guy had been our neighbour when I was too young too remember. He was cycling across the world and thought he'd drop by. He'd started in Amsterdam, went East through Europe, Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia. Took the plane to San Francisco and was now in Montreal, woo!

Enjoy the video and pictures. Perhaps it will help you push yourself to achieve some goals you've set yourself. I know one of my plans, other than finishing the AT with Mark Altitude, includes cycling from Montreal to Mexico. Not much compared to the entire world, but that certainly doesn't mean I won't be proud and happy with myself. Travel on!
