Oh my, I have to suppress my urge for a road trip.

Those last shots of the road and the mountains made me wistful for any kind of adventure.

I have questions. Are your going to recreate the trip? Are you taking a different trip and this time documenting with video?

Is your goal to encourage more people to bike or discover the world of non-fuel transportation?

P.S. I always have questions, it is in the blood. Can't help it.

Peace,

Rick: More on that soon :)

Gena: Never suppress your urge for road trips! Why would you want to do that.

Yes, that last shot, taken in Death Valley, gets me every time - I could watch that shot go on for 5+ minutes and not get bored. It's hypnotizing to me.

Thanks for the questions - I've received a few emails with similar questions so I'm working on answering those in an upcoming post.

But the short answer to those are: No. Yes. And yes. :)

Just listening and watching this intro inspired me to ponder my next chance to prove myself wrong about failure. In my sedentary case, it is the scary goal of getting my 56-year-old body into better shape through good diet and regular exercise. Impossible! My nerd self-image shouts. Yeah, but think about the Pedal Project. So thanks, and good luck!

This is a great idea - to get at the HEART of WHY someone wants to ride their bike across the U.S. When I did it almost 10 years ago, my friends and family thought I was crazy. Some were jealous. Some thought I wouldn't make it. Some thought I should carry a gun for protection. Turns out, it was the best adventure of my life and I think about it at least once a day. :) And I would recommend that anyone do it - it's a life-changing experience. :) It'll be interesting to see the people you get for the video and how the trip goes for them. :)

@Char: I agree :) I think about my trip almost once a day also. And really, how many things do people do that they then think about *every day* for the next several years?

I'm hoping to hear a lot of great stories on this trip. Keep reading/watching.

In my recent study of art, I have discovered a lack of the personal, a lack of the human, for a time that reaches back long before the time I was born. Through your beautiful imagery and the story that I see unfolding here, you have helped put the personal and the human back into art. Fantastic job! I look forward to watching the other episodes.

@Nathanael: Your comment is... just great - thanks so much for everything you just said. It really means a lot to Amanda and I.

I hope you enjoy the later episodes. They get a business-like from 2 to 4... but I think, if you liked ep 1, that you'll like 6 & 7. Thanks again!
