It takes two to tango!

It has been just over a year ago since I completed my first solo tour: 2012 Rockey Mountain Tour. It feels like years ago! :-) This time around will be even more special as my wife Swati (AKA Swatz. AKA Shonu) will be touring with me! "YEAH!"...Wait... "HELL YEAH!!!!". This is is her first bike tour and really her first time riding more than 50 miles in a day! She's a strong willed and determined woman so I am confident she'll do just fine out there on the road. The course is mostly flat and the days miles aren't too large. We will travel at her pace and, as I always say, we will take the time to "stop and smell the roses"!

I have always been a lucky man as she completely supported me throughout my endeavors no matter how selfish they were. Even if that meant I would be seeing some of the most beautiful sites on earth without her. On numerous occasions I had thought "this would be sooooooo coooool if Swatz was here to experience this moment with me!". I am so excited that I won't have to think those thoughts on this tour! I hope she too takes to touring like I have so we can continue pedaling our way around this awesome planet together!

Shons, may have I have this first dance?

Facebook:

For all my Facebook addict friends I will periodically post trip and blog status on my Facebook page. Please keep the comments coming (at Facebook or Blogger)! I will enjoy hearing from you all!

Posting:

I will likely have pretty decent mobile coverage so my postings should be daily. However, since I won't be alone on this trip the postings may be less detailed as my time will be better spent with Swatz! :) Keep checking back or sign up for email status notifications to see when my posts finally "post". :)

Final Thoughts:

As one can expect, these trips are typically an emotional roller coaster. When the sun is shining things are typically up beat and you cannot believe how beautiful this countries landscape is. When it is rainy and cold you just want to hunker down in your tent and question "why the hell am I doing this?". Ultimately, months after you return, you look back at these posts, read all the comments and say to yourself "That was a pretty damn awesome experience!"

Your Friend,
Dennis

P.S. I really enjoy reading all your comments. They brighten up my day and lift me up when my spirits are down so KEEP THEM COMING! :)
