Bicycling across America

Several years ago I bicycled solo from Newport Beach, California to St. Augustine, Florida, pedaling roughly 2,500 miles in 40 days.

Conclusions:

• Anyone can do it. It’s a test of mind, not body. You build strength
  (both kinds) as you go.

• Solitude is rare and valuable. Reflection, like family, is one of the
  basic sources of meaning.

• Gulf Coast motorists throw beer bottles at bicyclists.
