How many lives can you touch?

I am just one person, how can I make a difference? What can I do, I have no money, I can't ride bike, I have no talents? I have heard them all and I have an answer for all of them. I challenge you to give me one I can't answer.
Each day I discover a new way that I have inspired someone, many without even trying. It may be a smile I gave to someone who really was feeling sad. It may be sharing an inspiring word on social media. Sometimes it is simply going out on a limb and doing something I may not have ever considered as I grew up painfully shy. I have learned to think outside the box. Things that you may think are impossible or not even worth trying are the things you should be doing. What is the worst that can happen? One of my new friends says, "falling on your face is still moving forward" and I agree.
If you have been dreaming it, thought you never could, feel like people may laugh or judge ask your self these questions. Will it make you happy? Does it serve you? Will it make someone else happy? Does it serve the greater good? If you have said yes to these questions, what are you waiting for? If you have said no to any of these, look at what needs to be changed for you to answer yes to all and get moving. Stop worrying about what others may think, don't fret the how, if you have answered the why the how will take care of itself.

Preparing to go the distance.

You may be asking yourself, how do you prepare for a ride around the world by bicycle.  I am here to answer that question.  This is the answer to the physical side of this question. 
If you have never visited the beautiful state of Pennsylvania I am here to tell you, you are missing out.  This state is one of the best states for training, not much of it is flat.  My intent is to ride as many of these hills as possible until they are just as easy as the flats.
I went out yesterday in the heat and humidity, and what a workout.  If you are up to it, leave me a comment and I would love to have you join me.
