A Day to Be Prepared For

I started my trip!!!!!! The day went very well and the send off was amazing. And so the Adventure begins. One step at a time. The entire day was strait up hill all the time....I'm not lying....vertical! MA 135 is a road to do if you want to work on your climbing skills. I am feeling excited and scared but if I take this one day at a time I will be more prepared to do this. I will go to sleep now.

yep...rte 135 is a major part of the boston marathon route--a race everyone forgets is a downhill race just because of heartbreak hill....you biked it backwards...

The Reason

“Bike Against the Wind” is a multimedia interactive bicycling documentary where everybody will be able to participate in creating a film via text and video comments along with fallowing me (Mark Vashro) on my bicycle across 4,000 miles of the United States of America. I will be traveling by myself with the help of the online community across the USA experiencing its diversity first hand in hope to motivate others to also learn first hand what life has to offer.

By using a bicycle I will take the route less traveled, visit the places unnoticed, and meet the people that are normally overlooked. “Bike Against the Wind” will use this unique way of travel to inform and inspire in a powerful and beautiful way. This will be a difficult task but it will be a first hand, personal experience of this country.
