Yes, I'll be blogging when I can. As a daily keep-up, though, I'll be using Facebook via smartphone. Do you do Facebook? Send me an email via my website, and we'll talk more. My email address is listed on the "About Me" page of my site.
During the next year, I'll be testing out some new gear with as many mini-tours as possible here in Florida and to the north into Georgia. I haven't done a long tour in quite a few years, and I have completely re-outfitted. My new tent makes my old one look like an igloo (I mean the weight of an igloo, whatever that may be)!
I must tell you (and any other of you Brits reading this) that I dream of one day riding the UK. As a former lit major in university years ago, I am highly enamored of your Lake District. I really need to ride it. My life is not complete until then!
