The Big Idea

Folly by definition is a foolish action or idea, the word absurdity and phrase "lack of sense" seem to continually arise. But what would life be like without these follies? Why not embrace these ideas and get a little nutty! This is my journal for those adventures, and along the way I hope to meet new people, take the path less traveled, have some fun, and spread the story of this sustainable journey we call life! Here you’ll find short anecdotes about my life, links to enlightenment, and opinions on how to have fun! I would love to hear about your folly, so feel free to e-mail me, I might just post them, and thanks for visiting!

This was a big weekend!!



So over the weekend I purchased my panniers, I went with the Ortlieb classic rollers, front and rear in black of course and the Ortlieb classic handlebar bag in white! I ordered them from Wayne over at TheTouringStore.com, and without even knowing it he happened to be located in Fort Collins, so I was able to pick them up that day. They look like great bags, I haven't had time to mount them yet but I am sure I will be happy with them. I set Molly, the pretty one going on this journey with me, up with some Novara Transfer Panniers that I was lucky to pick up off CraigsList. Lastly, we both bought our plane tickets to Seattle, for May 25th, which were a steal at only 69 buck taxes and all!!! So were gearing up and getting excited to head out.

Be sure to check out the link to TheTouringStore.com, just click on the title of this posting, and to have a look at more of my pictures from Friday’s 50 mile uphill battle with the wind just click on the slide show in the upper right hand corner!!
