Remember, since all rights are reserved, if I'm asked to remove these images, I will do so at once.

When I have time and God knows when that will be, I'll post the raw non-PC, NC-17, emotional version in a separate thread.

























Later,

Gwen, that was sweeet.
As I was setting here reading this my wife asked me what I was reading. I told her it was your mag article about your ride, she's excited to read it too as I had been sharing with her about what you were doing, while you were riding.

Looking forward to seeing you again in May.

Is that a stock seat on your RS?
If it is, why haven't you replaced it with something more comfortable, like a ball park bleacher? Or maybe a concrete block?
Way to go.
What an accomplishment!

Thank you.
I sent my parents a copy of the magazine.

They said they were proud of me.

As they should be.

Thanks for letting me be a tiny part of your voyage.
