Thanks

Thanks to everybody who helped me be successful on this trip:

•  To my best friend in the world (and also my wife), Marcia, thanks for being you and always taking good care of me.
• To Tricia at World Gym, thanks for pushing me in spinning and getting me flexible in yoga. Without those classes I would never have tried this. I was one out-of-shape retiree in January 2012.
• To my daughter, Katie, who encouraged me to do this blog
• To my daughter Anna, who shared her encouragement from afar.
• To Sal Page, who put up with me and got me back home again
• To everybody who commented on my posts, as inane as they sometimes seemed to me.
• To the ride organizers, the SAGs, and all the volunteers, I salute you.
• To the people I met, I hope our paths will cross again someday.
