I want to say a huge thank you to everyone reading my blog! This is the very first time that any website I have designed and posted to has cleared the hurdles of 1000 unique visitors and 10,000 hits for a month!
The big days were those when I reported about the Minneapolis Critical Mass on June 30. I posted to a few lists and other independent media sites, plus sent out emails about the photos I captured.
It seems to me as if the progression of the site, my life in general, and the dramas of my cycling are paralleling each other as I approach my departure date for the trip. My legs may not be racing right now, but I’m steeped in planning and coordination. How do I travel from the Amtrak station to the Hostel I’ll stay at. How do I take public transit in an unfamiliar city? Should I stay at the hostel or with my friend Nancy who lives in Portland for my extra night?
All of it is coming together very quickly.
While I’m on the trip I will be posting some voice posts to my LiveJournal. My wonderful partner, Michael, will be putting links to the voice posts into this blog during my trip. Since I won’t have my laptop with me, nor will I have access to the internet, I will need to make some voice posts with either my cell phone or public phones along the way. I’m hoping that I will have opportunities to do that!
After the trip, I’ll be posting photos galore, and sharing my impressions I’m sure! Stay tuned, and thank you all for being a part of this journey with me.
