Poignant

With everything I own sold or given away, I leave behind my once-upon-a-time, beloved Pittsburgh. With no plans for return, to any previous place I have called home, I venture into uncertainty, adrift amongst the endless roads of the world, for today, freedom starts with one petal after another.

I'm with in 30 miles from the city of New Orleans and true to her fashion, after not getting a flat for over 1,000 miles, I have to fix one right after I enter Orleans parish.

So for the last two days, I pushed for triple digit miles so I could make it home by my birthday. I have to push yet another 100+ to finish

Pearl river rest stop. Almost to Jackson

Rolling down the trace in Mississippi and you’ll see they have signs up at every stop that say "no fires", cause apparently they are having a drought. First pic is most recent, second pic is 2013

Its time to be an android, not a man…

No really, I’m fucking hurting and really wish I did have robotic legs. Only 40some old miles to go before I hit my least favorite city in the world… Jackson.

Here's to Jenny and all the real witches, not the wanna be witches just being trifling bitches.

So only once in 2,500 miles and 13 states, did I start a camp fire. Bicycle only campground in Alabama.

So I'm currently just being lazy since I return home, but soon I will upload pics and do a synopses of the ride.

Made it !

I did 3 days of triple digit miles to get home for my birthday. I rolled in last night tired as hell, with a bruised sit bone, and a longing for my bed that made my room feel like I made it to Eldorado.

2,500 miles, now in the books and no one can take that away from me.
