opening post

Hi, I'm Steve and I have just begun this blog so I can share my upcoming bicycle trip with family and friends. I have been an educator for many years as well as a person who loves a challenge. I particularly love hiking, bicycling and camping in the mountains. I will be bicycling through Colorado this summer and want to share the experience with others.
Prior to my bicycle trip, I am taking part in a National Writing Project experience at Louisiana State University. I hope the experience I get in the NWP will enable me to write expressively in my blogs from the road. Here's hoping for good weather and no road rashes.
