Lewis and Clark Bicycle Tour

Posted by Mack

i just thought that i should say a few words concerning this pilgrimage to mecca…

over the past few months, and countless kilometers, i have been thrashing the hog with a person you know as jayme. i don’t call him jayme. i call him uncle billy ray. ok, i call him staff sergeant. anyway, over hundreds of kilometers of fire road, singletrack, grass, jungle, river, and pavement, jayme has been a motivator. he has somehow coerced me into traveling 1969 miles across the united states. i have yet to purchase the supplies needed. as usual with these types of things, i will make do with less. you can guarantee that i will be cold and miserable while i am actually riding the bike. more than likely, i will simply go with 3 MREs and a gatorade. but, i’ll get to point b somehow.

yesterday, i was pondering whether to bring a MP3 player. it is dangerous, i know. it’s even against marine corps regulations. do i have to actually talk with jayme the whole 1969 miles? will he even be within sight on the upside of the mountains? i doubt it. i think i will bring my harmonica. i would like to enjoy myself on this venture. will there be female companionship on the way? will there be a feira da guara? can i handle getting wasted and still ride somewhat well in the morning? i have so many questions. however, the real question will be a question of self discipline and determination. this will test not only my thighs of steel but those great golf balls between them.

i am excited.

my only real fear is that i will have no way to cut my hair on the duration and will my mustache grow as well as i hope?
