That's right, I don't want anybody to start reading this journal with unrealistic expectations.  The only thing you will find here is a personal account of one man's experiences while on a small bike trip.  Each day I will try to entertain myself with the weird, beautiful, and FUN things I see.  Then I'll report on it.  That's all I do.

With that in mind, the following is a less wordy version of my usual list of things you probably won't find herein:

• Good photography
• Epic daily or weekly mileages
• Historical awareness
• Self-discovery
• Useful information for planning your own tour
• International intrigue
• Geology, anthropology, biology, physics, or any other branch of scientific knowledge
• Analysis/review of gear or bicycle components
• Average rate of speed, maximum speed, amount/length/degree of vertical ascent, number of hours pedaling, calories consumed, or any other data obtained from a bike computer (I don't carry one.)

Now it's time to move on to a new list.  It's a list of things you MIGHT find in this year's journal.

• Odd punctuation, incomplete sentences, inappropriately capitalized words & phrases, and other affronts to the English language.
• Extreme self-centeredness
• Bizarre inner dialogues
• A satirical review of a locally produced wine
• Animals (if I can find them)
• The appearance of a recurring friend or two
• At least one reference to the new religion I invented
• Plenty of nonsense and gibberish
