That should also be a perfect opportunity for you to take a closer look at your bike, check the specs and improve on things, not just for its overall physical attributes, but to ensure its safety as well. Thanks for sharing that! More fun biking adventures to you!<br /><br /><a href="http://2quikcarbon.blogspot.com/2014/12/top-tips-before-riding-to-work-on-your.html" rel="nofollow">Ora Grant @ 2QuikCarbon.com</a>Ora Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118914633155561067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916447777056971449.post-66379979106021344662014-12-29T23:02:16.387-05:002014-12-29T23:02:16.387-05:00Nice to end on a lifer!

I am glad you chose a different career path for the rest of your life. I am sure a lot of your readers are struggling with the thought of following your lead. Thank you! - Mario<br /><br />I believe you mentioned an interest in politics at some point during the year. With the 2016 presidential campaign soon to begin, you could be the first presidential candidate to run a carbon free, human powered campaign, and at the same time be able to bird every state in the continental US! I can picture CNN, MSNBC, and FOX having a segment on "Where is Dorian Campaigning Today?" I can also picture thousands of bicyclists following you Forrest Gump style too.

I tell you what man I have just the thing for you. After you get to Philly and then get up to NY later in January, when we get together I think we should go for a really long bike ride, then I'll take you out to eat for a large pizza or a chinese buffet, and then let's get out of town for a few days R+R and stay somewhere nice: Like a best western.

Since you seem to believe you have maxed out your bird count for the year, I have made good on my promise to double my donations from $1 per bird to $2 per bird. Based on your efforts this year, my contributions are paltry, but I do hope they make a difference in the conservation efforts you chose to support. I am looking forward to someday birding many of the places you visited this year and see some of those birds with my own eyes. In the meanwhile, Happy Holidays, and enjoy a restful remainder of the year, you have certainly earned it! Jim GuionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
