Starting the long journey
Thursday, March 5th, 2009Maybe the best way to start is to explain why… or maybe how. Once upon a time there was a bunch of crazy guys, also known as amateur endurance atheletes who were swimming under the orders of Coach Terry.
Because there are not enough challenges on life, a couple of them decided it was time for a new one! It sounds silly, but it’s the truth. Crazy ideas start like this:
Me: “What are you doing on July?”
Him: “Nothing”
Me: “We could do something… couldn’t we?”
Him: “Yes, let’s do something… with the bicycles!”
Me: “Why we don’t go to Antwerp?”
Him: “Where? I mean, how far?”
Me: “I don’t know… let me check… mmmmm like 250 miles”
Him: “Yeah, buddy! let’s do it!”
This is, more or less, the very beginning of LongAnt. Now we have a very steep road to go: planning, planning and planning!
Way To Go, my friends! (………………….by bicycle, of course!)
