Jump first, fly second.

I got this idea a while ago, but tonight I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about it, and I've been up since 1am (it's 5am now) setting it up, so I'm going to do it.

I'm going to ride my bike from Austin, TX to Gulfport, MS.

I'm doing it for a few reasons:
1. I want to get to Gulfport because Habitat is having their annual Build-A-Thon where over 200 volunteers come together and build 20 houses in six days, and I love working in that environment.
2. Plane/bus/train tickets are expensive and I don't have a car.
3. It'll be a fun challenge.
4. Like I said, the idea kept me awake so something important must be happening.

I created another blog to post info and ask for support. http://bikeforhumanity.blogspot.com/

Action combined with an informed community can produce amazing results.
I look forward to hearing from you.
