Don't forget your helmet. Sent 2009-05-09 from Bruce

Mark your path, I might want to try it some day. Of course I'm waiting to see if you survive first. Sent 2009-05-09 from Chuck

Hi Al, It's possible you will be hearing from an inspired 3rd grade classroom in Ann Arbor. Makes for great math and geography lessons. Looking forward to your travelogue. Happy Riding! Sent 2009-05-08 from Ingrid Crause

We'll be watching your progress and holding down the fort in your absence. We wish you nothing but the best Al. Enjoy and BE SAFE! Sent 2009-05-08 from Walt Curry

We're betting on the side that you WILL make it. All the best. Sent 2009-05-07 from Dan and Monica

Al: Be safe. Enjoy. I would ask that you use some common sense but that horse is out of the barn. Wish you nothing but the very best. Sent 2009-05-07 from Ed

You'll be fine. 21K ft in a week is nothing, assuming the wind is behind you. If that's not true, just think of it as a bigger hill. Good luck. I know you'll make it. PS Don't let your hands or your other parts fall asleep from leaning on the handlebars. I know a guy who let that happen, and when he had to go to the bathroom he grabbed his left thumb with his right hand and peed his shorts. Be careful. Sent 2009-05-07 from Denny

Have a wonderful trip.....May the GODS be with you...Remember no pain no gain...So keep on pushing.... Sent 2009-05-07 from RC

Al, Have a great trip, everyday will be an adventure. Remember when your going uphill that just around the next corner has to be the start of the descent! Sent 2009-05-07 from Dave Smelewski

Al, Be careful and have some FUN! :>) Sent 2009-05-07 from Jim Lentini

Wow Al! Good luck and godspeed! I will be sending you good thoughts! I will live vicariously through this amazing adventure! Sent 2009-05-07 from Amy Klinke

Since I get to take you to the airport tomorrow, I'll be the last one giving you advice as you leave Michigan. I have the whole day to think of something that will stay with you for 50 days. This better be good! Sent 2009-05-07 from Larry F

It looks like a good plan! I am looking foreword to your posts! Trip of a life time! Sent 2009-05-07 from peter brown

Nothing like a little challenge to keep life interesting. Hope it isn't as grueling as last year's trip. I'll be following your progress. Sent 2009-05-07 from your cousin down under

Last night, Nancy, the girls’ field hockey coach, asked me, “How did Allan ever talk you into this?” Well, he didn’t. We never had the conversation,” Should he? Could he?” If you float a seemingly unintelligible idea around for 15 or 20 years it becomes a matter of “when?” And now that he has put the money down and is leaving tomorrow, it seems a little late to be asking “why?” The kids probably have the only answer, “That’s Dad and he does stuff like that.” Sent 2009-05-07 from Roddy

I am truly impressed. There is no way I would ever be inclined to do what you are planning to do. Stay strong and, best of all, have fun!! It's a beautiful country. Sent 2009-05-06 from Lil

Thanks for the link & letting us go on this incredible trip with you. Stay tough & make sure your brakes keep working! Sent 2009-05-06 from Linda Lombardini

Al, Pedal fast and watch out for chickens off the trucks. Have a great time. Sent 2009-05-06 from Dan

May the wind always be from warm andfrom the west. Have a great time. Sent 2009-05-06 from Ellen

Al, you may want to consider wearing gloves that cover your entire hands. Otherwise, the frostbite may keep you from the daily blogging. Have a great -- and safe! -- trip. PS: You owe me $10.00. Sent 2009-05-06 from Ken Nemo

Al May the wind always be behind you and a refreshing breeze in your face. Is the US tilted downwar E to W? Sent 2009-05-06 from Jack

I'll come see you in New York - if you survive that long! Sent 2009-05-06 from Mike Newman

Dad...I know where Lance is..he broke his collarbone and can't ride. Don't end up like Lance. Sent 2009-05-05 from Jessie
