I’ve talked about all the stuff ya gotten bring for a X-country ride. You can see list but when you see every item, puts it into reality…it’s a lot of crap.

I know may sound odd but I have something from every one in my immediate family. Something they have provided me for this trip, or got me as a gift or just a reminder that they have always been there for me. I’m a softy and I get emotional over small things that symbolize great meaning to me. I’ve done this all my life – never throwing away holiday or birthday cars- I have them from my birth announcement – and keeping memento’s. Definitely hoarder tendencies!!! Somewhere I have a bat from my first hit in Little League, a beer from a high school party and the Sonics NBA Championship shirt – stuff, really important stuff! Most importantly, there’s a story or two or three.

Looking ahead to a long bike ride, I hope to capture pics, get some stuff and have a bunch of crazy stories. A blog probs can’t give it justice. I’ll try, give my best I got at the time. Thanks for being here!
