I (virtually) made it!

Well, my fantasy a couple years ago was to venture out on a cross-country bike trip when I finish school. According to Google Maps (bicycle beta version) the trip from San Diego, CA to the White House in Washington, D.C. is 2,908 miles. I've ridden in the past year and a half 3,146.04 mi. So if I had left a year ago, I would have made it by now.

My husband has already told me that this trip is NOT going to happen. He thinks I am completely nuts for even suggesting that it COULD happen. I told him the only way to PREVENT it from happening is to get me pregnant. If I have endless doctor appointments, then I can't be riding from city to city and sometimes in the middle of nowhere.

I had thought this would be a monumental trip. Something that could provide material for a book. I've just finished reading EAT, PRAY, LOVE by Elizabeth Gilbert. Totally inspirational!
