You're the MAN! You are so lucky to be starting such a long, challenging bike trip. Never take Mrs. Grumby's support for granted. I guarantee it will come in handy in the weeks and months to come. I probably don't have to tell you that though.

So impressed that you've kept in contact with one of your Undaunted Porridge co-stars.

There is no need for a death grip at "the best place on earth." Save that for the forbidding deserts of southern New Mexico.

I’m so excited for you and that I’ll have some entertaining reading following your journal! I hope it goes well for you!

Maybe the rain won’t actually happen! I’ll be crossing my fingers for you.

Go, Grumby!!

What a great photo! Congratulations on your 15 year anniversary.

Thanks for the lucky charms and guidance plotting this adventure. I'll see you at the finish line.

Thanks Andrea! I hope to account for myself well and I appreciate your support and inspiration.

This is so exciting, Ron! We'll be following closely. Be safe, warm, dry, and enjoy yourself. We're super proud of you.

The starting point of a Grand Adventure!!

I feel so lucky to have shared these pre-GDMBR Tour days with the Fabulous Mr. Grumby!

What a way to celebrate 15 years: beautiful road trip, connecting with family, a couple bike rides, helping out some bike travelers, Lisa's awesome support, and a dazzling collection of Good Luck Charms.

Here's to a tour filled with beauty, awe, and all of the wonderful experiences you'll share here on CycleBlaze!

Me!

I'm slipping ..

Thanks. I was getting used to my new GoPro and used the app to edit.
