Man I’ve been endurance riding for almost 3 years I would love to do what you are about to do. Kudos to you brother I hope the journey works out which I know it will, I’m here in America and was planning to ride across America east to west but I broke my foot and got disappointed about riding, you just brought that hope back. Thank you, I look forward to my ride in 2020 (RAA 2020) Ride Across America “2020” Stay strong and never give up on your dreams.

Your a true inspiration – everyone should be paying attention. Everyone is complaining about this and that, you are actually doing something to combat it. Make things happen if you want them to.

Your comfort zone is already to be super determined and making things happen at the cost of what might be considered comfort. I think this is right up your alley and I will be following the trip.
