Welcome. Here my friends and family can keep track of my adventures, misadventures, photos and progress as I set out
to ride around the world on a 9 month bicycle tour. I'll be leaving Patterson in central California 02/02/08 and pedaling
to Florida. I'll then ship the bike to England and head east through Europe, Poland, Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan and China hoping
to make Hong Kong sometime in November. I can't imagine what lies before me but I promise to save a lot of pictures
to this site and relate as much as I have time for. It's going to be interesting, I hope you all enjoy it. Go ahead and click
on my picture page. Brian.
MADE IT TO HONG KONG!!! 9/28/2008
Folks it's hard to describe how great it is to be home in northern California again, seeing my family and old
friends and knowing this wild adventure is behind me. I can't thank enough all the wonderful people who helped me out along
the way in all the different countries I passed through and you all know who you are. I hope to stay in contact with many
of you but keep checking back here on occasion for anything new. I'm just beginning to format all my notes and pictures and
aim to write a book on this incredible journey that so many were a part of. Thanks again everyone and to all those just checking
in know this: the good people around this world out number the bad a thousand to one. Don't believe the papers, we're all
the same and we're all in this together. Be cool, Brian
