Today was a very good day.
Someone special talked to me about cycling and scootering. I have recently been considering scootering the TCT.
He cycles highways and meets many interesting people whereas I prefer the quiet solitude of trails.
Now I'm re-considering. A scooter will make noise, and, also, I will have double the threat of theft to worry about. But I will also cover more ground, and be less exhausted at the end of each day.
Driving home, I remembered when I first started this blog having received a forward from my daughter about an 80 year old American lady WALKING across the US from California to the Atlantic. People came out to greet her and many gave her a place to stay at night.
So why, then, should I suddenly be getting so nervous about cycling just because my start date is nearing.
There should be no stress about this trip, and no definite start and finish date.
I'm just going to go. Maybe I'll always be going. Why not!?
I may just go back to my original plan of starting in June from Calgary and cycling east to Nfld., and then returning to Calgary in Sept. (this year or next) to then cycle from Calgary to Victoria. Might be safer than starting in Victoria in June. This way I miss the bears coming out of spring hibration in starvation mode.
If one invites me to dinner, I hope they're having sushi and not homosapien.
