    I was talking with my best friend (a runner) and we talked about biking part of the Appalachian Trail. It would be a few months until I was in shape to do it, but a spring time trip is possible.



    How on earth to do something so ambitious 20 months ago

    There are so many things to plan to get to accomplish something like this. It will take 6-8 months, so planning to take that much time off to start.



    The first step... 22 months ago

    to this goal is coming to fruition. I’m getting a bicycle for my birthday this year. I haven’t ridden a bike since I was 14. After moving across country, I was ridiculed because my bike was of a different style than the local kids. Needless to say, it was easier for me to deal with not riding than to face the taunters and point out that their mountain bikes wouldn’t do them much good at 700 miles above sea level. Whatever…that’s in the past:)

    So now I’m making a commitment to riding enough to get comfortable and then begin riding to and from work. All this will be training for my someday plan to bike parts of the Appalachian Trail.
