Going for a ride on your bicycle is very different when you don't plan to be back home that day. We met these two and shared some space with them. They don't plan on being back home for a couple of years.
Ken and I were just a bit younger then Anna and Alister when we did our first tour. I think that we were still at it almost 30 years later, was an inspiration to them. Several days later, when we reconnected with them at the top of Sinclair Pass while I was at an emotional low point, their youthful enthusiasm, optimism, and sense of adventure raised my spirits more than I would have imagined possible. (The banana and orange juice helped too, so thanks again!) Bon voyage. Enjoy your trip. It will change you in ways that you can't anticipate.
