This is the 1st day of 2008,
'the start of the end' one might say (about me, anyway),
and the 345th day that I've been blogging, sort of, because I missed a couple of blog days when the internet was down,
and a couple when I thought it was down but turned out only to be the fault of my own personal computer.
This is very scary in a way - 32 days left until I hit age 65.
Some people refer to it as being downhill from here on in.
It will be my job to make it uphill,
or, rather, to make it a completely balanced time,
neither up nor down the hill.
Yes, I will do the TransCanadaTrail this year.
If I can't physically do it on a bike, then I will do it on a scooter.
When I read Murray Snyder's blog, www.crazyguyonabike.com/msnyder I was intensely inspired although I've been planning this trip for 5 years now.
However, when I recently read his part about his Dempster Highway cycling tour,
I suddenly realized through the beauty of his marvellous photos and the crazy wonderful experiences that he wrote about, that I felt instantly driven to do The Dempster/The Alaska Highway also,
and perhaps many more places like the trail around the periphery of Ireland,
and Haiden's wall, and China, and..........
How am I going to do it all and keep my health unless I switch to doing it on a scooter? The price would be too high - knee replacements etc.
Shoot! I've been seriously thinking lately, maybe I should just scoot the TCT.
Any reactions, folks?
Does it make any difference in anyone's life, other than mine, if I use a scooter instead of a bicycle?
Like the little engine who said
'I think I can.'
I'm sure I can - (try, at least)
and will consequently, as Browning suggested:
'Live Life to the Lees'.
