New Moon

It’s been 4 years since Spirit first called me to make this journey and 3 weeks since the doe collapsed out front. It seems like an eternity and the blink of an eye. Time…

The moon is new, ripe for intention setting. I publish this web site as a way of formalizing my intentions around this journey.

In two weeks, when the moon is full, I will depart. Between now and then, I plan to tweak my gear, pack, train, and connect with interested folks.

I hope to install a USB charger for my dynamo hub and a handlebar mount for my phone. Hopefully that will be enough technology to allow me to communicate with you via text, photo, and video during the journey. So much to do, and yet so little.

In the morning, I plan to bike up the Mackenzie Pass. The 15 mile journey up will take me to 5,625 ft above sea level a gain of approximately 2,000 ft. That’s roughly equivalent to the Cumberland Gap. I did the same journey earlier this week. I can do again. I aim to have more faith in my ability to summit and aim to carry more weight this time.

I am confident that Spirit will continue to guide this journey.
