B the Bike

In 2006/07 I hatched a plan to bicycle across the state of New Hampshire. I wanted to ride from the intersection of Rte. 3 and the Canadian border to Prescott Park in Portsmouth. I wanted to touch Canada and the Atlantic Ocean in one journey.

Unfortunately the timing for my ride wasn’t right. 2007 offered workaholic Brian too much to do and too little time to do it in. While I didn’t have the opportunity to properly prepare for a cross state ride I did put a plan in motion that was destined to become a reality.

I found Brian in 2007.

I finally embraced my thoughts about the person I want to be. I am a man of dreams and passion. I want to live hard. I made changes to become the man that I am. I left the workaholic life to never go back. I left a relationship that wasn’t right for me.

As the sun set on 2007 I opened the best part of myself to the world. Despite my fear I sought out the woman that has been with me since we first met over a decade ago. That openness has created a light within me that glows in the darkest night. There will be much more to come about her in the future.

It was at the end of 2007 I decided to resurrect my cross state bicycle journey. I want this bicycle trip. I will enjoy seeing NH by the strength of my own legs and the fuel of my own determination. Double A Ron and Jenny D thank you and I love you for your continued support and of course the trainer.

While I may be taking this trip alone there are a few people helping to make my voyage possible and one person who will be in my soul with each pedal. In subsequent entries I’ll talk more about the people helping me along the way.

Am I afraid of failure? No, because I’ve already found what I’m looking for – Brian Adna Shaw. Hello all, it is good to be here.
