Let me be the first to congratulate you (on your blog anyways) on completing your biking adventure! I've enjoyed reading about every day and am in awe that you managed to post an entry for EVERY SINGLE DAY! I'm quite sure I'll never get a chance to do anything like this, or at least not until I'm retired and the kids have moved out - so the best I can do is live vicariously through you and maybe hope to influence some of your decisions in some small way - like the beard for instance. :)

And speaking of the beard - glad to hear that it is still around - it was looking mighty impressive in your latest photos. If Jody is anything like Amy though - not sure how long you'll be able to keep it on once you get back - hopefully I'll get a chance to see you before you shave it. :)

So what's the plan from here on out? When do you get back?
