I suppose somewhere I should quickly mention the grandiose reason for this trip. Perhaps, I should first name what I am not doing this for.
I am not trying to make a statement, nor am I trying to prove anything to... anyone.
This is not a ride for charity (although those are very admirable), nor am I trying to set a personal record (although this will likely be one.) It is not because I am a masochist (seriously not), nor an avid cyclist (training? say whaaa?)
It is mostly for myself. Yea, selfish little me. I wanted to see a new environment, have a little bit of adventure (or a lot) and some time on my own (or a lot). I wanted it to be relatively affordable and yet rewarding. Also, on some level this trip all ties in with me starting a future career in public health - to effectively help different populations around the world, you ought to know the places and communities you are trying to serve. And I think traveling slow motion through the country might do that to some extent.
