Cue the Intro<\/strong><\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I have gazed at the world in awe — at the road beneath me, the mountains beside me, and the blue sky overhead; and\u200e I have reached out and touched it — felt the rumble of two wheels and an engine rolling down a desolate road,\u00a0the warmth of the sun on my face, \u00a0and the energy of people I have met along the way.\u200e<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
And, in a flicker, it’s over. As much as I would like to hang onto it; bottle it; preserve it; time rolls on. This one’s a wrap.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
It has been a wild trip; and I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to everyone who played a part in opening my mind to the beauty and the mystery that’s out there (and now, also, in here): the people who supported me as I prepared; and those who supported me (and Gunther) while we were on the road; the people who sent me comments on- and off-line; those I met on (and off) the road; the guys from Chicago that bought me lunch (don’t worry, guys; when the Leafs win The Stanley Cup, it’ll be my turn); all the other bikers who waved when they passed (if you are ever wondering whether it makes a difference, it does); and the ones who kept me company at the rest stops and on the boats. And The Edmonton Eskimos.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The missing blog entries? Not to worry; I’ll try to fill in the gaps over the next while. And, if that doesn’t come to pass, you can read the whole story in the book.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
“So, it’s one for the money;<\/div>\n
But that don’t make the show;<\/div>\n
Count to three and I’ll be ready;<\/div>\n
To follow that road.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Cue the Exit<\/a><\/strong>. (Eastern shore of Lake Michigan on the last night of this trip.)<\/div>\n
