Moving on

I appreciate all the response that I have recieved since the last post. I feel a little strange finding out how many people are following my stories with excitement. Although I was given a bit of a boost to continue with my tales I am going to be subborn.

How about just a small update of where I am at now. I am in Franz Josef Glacier township. It is about noon. Brandon and I are a bit stuck here at the moment. We both have had a breakdown. A spoke pulled trough my rear rim and Brandon's bearings in his pedal are destroyed. We need a ride to Greymouth for part's however the bus will only take us if they have room for the bikes. Thus far they have not had any room. Tomorrow hopefully they will. The rain stopped for a day, but it looks like that will not continue. There are lots of little and big downers that have really been making the past few days a struggle for me. With all this, my mood is not at its peak but its not getting me down. I am still focusing on the good, and laughing at the stupid. Not to mention the thought that I am not in -30 degree wind chills, I am not working a job everyday, and that the mountains or the sea are just about always at my finger tips, make me realize that I have a lot of good going for me.

The cycling trip is ending in late February when I fly out to Australia.

This is all I have for you now. Pictures are not available until I can upload them.

Love you all.
