"If wishers where horses beggars would ride"

When I started this trip I had no idea how much I would learn about myself. I knew at the beginning of this trip it would be the hardest/best thing I have done to date. I have been suprised to find that the biking part for me is really no problem, no mileage is to far and hill too steep. Its been a little unerving being near grizleys, being chased by moose, or even shot in the back with a bb gun 2 weeks ago. All of which I've been able to overcome with relatively no greif. But by far the hardest thing for myself has been missing my good freinds and family. I was once told "The best things in life are not things" and for me thats absolutely true.
When I began this trip I knew what I was giving up and knew what to expect for the most part. The thing I didnt realize was that I would be finding the true meaning of freindship.
6 Months ago I came upon the idea of doing this trip and I realized that if I didnt do it now at this point in my life I may never do it. Because who knows, I may fugure out I want to become a full time student, or perhaps find someone I in fact cant live with out, or might get hit by a car on the way to work. I wanted to travel, I wanted to see the world, and wanted to share the experience with my freinds and family. I am telling you this because the 3,000 miles I've biked has been physically easy for me but the 7 people so far that let me down by not joining me like they told me they would has been the most painfull thing in the world.
I want to inspire people, I want people to do something that is important to them. Wether its taking time off of their normal life to follow a dream or perhaps just be there for their kids. I really appreciate the "doers" and want the talkers to realize they have been my only obsticles.
