Get Out There and Pedal

IF YOU HAPPEN TO STUMBLE across this blog or the story of my earlier trip in 2007:

let me say that I absolutely recommend a bicycle ride across America. It was an adventure of a lifetime, I thought in 2007; and the second ride in 2011 was in some respects better.

I'm not exactly a youth either. I was 58 the first time and you can do the math on the second ride. There is a world of beauty out there to discover and I found people to be universally friendly. If you carry a load of gear, as I do, you pedal into any town and you're like a visitor from another planet. People want to know what you're doing.

DOUBLE CLICK ON THE PICTURE AND IT WILL GET BIGGER.

If you pedal in Zion National Park you can get off your bicycle and go hiking.
I took this picture on a driving trip; but this is what's out there to see.

Take a camera along on your trip.
You never know what you might see.
