adventure awaits…

Preparation for an imminent two-wheeled venture is always an exploit to be both revered and dreaded. The excitement of organizing the gear, buying the items you didn’t know you needed until you thought “I may need…”, deciding what to take and what to leave behind. Laying down the groundwork of where to go, what to see, when to go, how long… Dreading what you may be forgetting to pack that you did not realize you needed until you needed it. Both worrying, and being excited at the same time, about running into bad weather, or about how difficult that mountain pass is really going to be on a 500 lb fully loaded bike. The cycle of preparing and procrastinating, planning and pondering, and just simply getting more energized about the ride, the journey, the yet unlived memories, as each day passes.
