Follow us (on a slight re-route)

Dear journal readers,

Due to the winding asphalt of the road and scanty internet contact, I will not be able to update this blog as much as I'd like to. However, whereas I could only do it every few days or so, my Bike & Build team posts a, um, post every day that we have internet contact, charting every day of our trip. If you'd like to follow us this summer, I would be honored if you visited this page http://bikeandbuild.org/rider/route.php?route=SUS&year=2010 and tracked us as we cycle across the country for affordable housing. Additionally, the pencil and camera icons adjacent to the map will take you to our trip journal, written by a different one of us every day, and all of our pictures from the road.

Thank you all for your support. And as for me and my stories, some of them are contained within the stories of my comrades, some I'll just have to type up from my handwritten journal when I get back.

But for today, one thought: the Gulf of Mexico alongside us, in its slight color and quietness and elegance, and 33 people determined to make a difference in the world setting out, chatting with everyone under the sun, their bikes and Camelbacks so hardcore in the Panhandle sunshine.
