Kai and Sheila rolled up to my work about two months ago. As soon as I saw their bikes I ran outside to greet them and to find out where they were pedaling from. (Sheila had a Rohloff hub and a Folk Engineered bicycle, so I knew that these were people with a good story.) They ate with me and explained that they had pedaled from Vermont and were on a "five year" cycling trip. I told them about our plans for the next year and invited them to our house for breakfast.The next morning, we shared a yummy breakfast of pancakes, eggs, fresh squeezed orange juice, and coffee. They gave us much to think and to be excited about. After three hours of great conversation and laughs, they pedaled away, heading south for Argentina.

YAY!!!! WE'RE SO EXCITED TO SEE YOUR SITE UP AND YOUR COUNTDOWN CLOCK TICKING AWAY!
ReplyDeleteWe just came out of 9 days of off-grid travel (from San Felipe to Puertecitos to Gonzanga Bay then on to Chapalla & Hwy 1- no wi-fi or cell coverage, sandy/rocky/gruelling climbing, deserted beaches, hot springs overlooking the sea and amazing stealth campsites)to find your post and your site. I just read every post. Love so much already, especially that Rohloff tool. *jealous*
Looking forward to reading more. And thanks for the shoutout. Much love to you both.
Thank Sheila!
ReplyDeleteYou guys sound like you are having a wonderful time! It's been great watching you move south on your website. We are getting excited to leave, and it's coming up so fast! We got our rohloff's and will be building our bikes soon.
Enjoy every moment! And I can't wait to run into you both on the road.
Much love
