This Is It.


I've kept it under wraps for months and months.  I didn't tell a god damn soul until 2 months ago.  I don't think I could deal with another failure like Alaska last year.  That still stings more than you can know.

I'm jumping on my bike and pedaling south, either to the end of the world in Tierra Del Fuego or until I run out of money, whichever suits me.

Last day of work today.
First day of homelessness.

I am sticking around till the 10th - The 8th is the first day of chukar in Nevada, and the first Sharks game of the regular season is that night.  Birds and hockey.

I need to be humbled.  I need to get away from this town.  I need to get out of the first world.
Too many complainers, too many complacent people dragging me down.

It's hard for most people to understand why you would want to get rid of nearly all of your possessions and ride a bicycle alone for months at a time.

That's fine.  Hopefully I can explain a bit of the why the next few months.

First leg - Reno to San Diego.

Keep your ears open.

    Fuck yeah, Larry! I am really stoked for you. It will be a life changing experience and you will meet some of the most amazing people ever, who don't know what it means to complain. They're just living. Update when you can so I can follow your progress. Darren

    I hope to see you before I leave on the 10th, I'm hopefully selling my truck today so I won't have a vehicle, but if I make it to Truckee I'll let you know.

    Nice! Best of luck on the journey-- regardless of whether you make it to the end of the earth or the bottom of your bank account.
