Step Two: Discover the Details of the Dream

...I'm going to be on my own with no means to accomplish this goal. If I want to do it safely, I need to sign up and go on a tour. My favorite one I've found is Cycle America, Coast to Coast. And the cost of my dream?? A mere $6,200. YIKES! Yet I will not be deterred. I need this bike ride and this life check-mark at this crossroads and early onset of life and self-identity crisis. I suppose my next blog should be a magic solution of how to make the money to make this two-wheeled country trek.

Step One: Define the Dream

Jan 1, 2010.
Year of the Tiger...it's supposed to be a fierce year...I hope that's true. I'm starting out the year filing for divorce, quitting my job, moving to a new place and starting over again. In that process, I have decided that I need to pause long enough to pursue a dream. The particular dream I've chosen is to ride my bike from one coast of the U.S. to the other...from Seattle to New York.
