I've taken a 6 month career break to help me decide what I want to do when I grow up! This BLOG will record my adventures and chart my progress as I cycle the western pacific coast of the US for Room to Read. Find out what I've been up to and how I'm getting on...

Day 5 report part 2

... but if those 2 before and after lunch werent 30%ers then im a dutchman!

So what do i think about all day when im on the bike? Lots of tripe...and quite a lot of the time i cant remember it 5 minutes later and just as well!

One topic i do remember is taking things for granted. We cant get by without our smartphones, facebook , cars, lazyboy chairs (sorry unohu, i couldnt resist it!). i took school for granted and maybe thats why im doing this challenge for room to read. i think im about 86% there for building a library for some children who would give anything for an education. thanks for all the donations so far. The link is on the left! Til tomorrow...

  1. Enjoy all those scorchios. We have Hurricane Katia here today and tomorrow. Imagine us trying to have some sort of control on the Himalayas. Distance and direction will be purely at the mercy of the elements.
