Default Re: Your greatest accomplishment

The best thing that's happened to me: Wonderful wife of almost 40 years with two daughters, 30 and 32. The 32 year old is pregnant with twins after trying for four years to have kids.

for personal accomplishments that I'm proud of:

Survived 35 years in the cattle business and retired to Wyoming
Earned my Boy Scout Eagle badge and 48 merit badges
Built over a 5 1/2 year period a 2 place, 180 mph airplane and flew it, trouble free for 475 hours.

Well, I don't have as great as accomplishments as some of the many great dads, armed forces individuals or those that have faced their demons head on. My major accomplishment are my long distance (solo) bicycle tours over the past 10 years, including 2005 where I did 5,500 miles (been through Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and parts of Michigan) as well as being true to myself.

Congrats to you all.

Nice.

A couple of friends and I talked about doing a couple of long distance peddles after school, never happened. May have to start thinking about it again.

Well, if you do let me know. I can let you know what works and what doesn't (like, uh, biking through a hurricane -- not a good idear. nor is biking with 10lbs of chocolate in the panniers on the hottest day of the year )
