Just a few more days remain of this fabulous adventure that possibly no one will even be able to replicate. You will share this experience with your children, grandchildren and everyone else too. Headwinds are the worst, but definitely do not let them beat you. Here's cheering for nice tailwinds in your final days. In the words of my bootcamp instructor at my gym, "Don't give up." Thinking of you with best wishes.

Not the least of which is that "Biking For Birds" is now used as a verb in our house, as in <br /><br />"What are you doing today?"

But this was the year you chose and your almost there. 2 more species on your radar that should be your focus -- that and in a week it's over. "Mission Accomplished" (insert George Bush joke here--you're in Texas after all ). Yes petrol based big years are Mich easier at the end, but I for one didn't sit home on mine and I know a lot of others also try to squeak a little something extra out in the 11th hour. That's you right now.

I'm surprised your bike has held up this far. I'm going to have to buy one. I've always written a trip report for every place I've traveled birding, and yes, that can keep you going, and you'll love having it sooner than you think. A whole lot of people are living through your exploits this year and sending well wishes to get you to a great finish!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916447777056971449.post-15887674195347810862014-12-25T06:55:02.063-05:002014-12-25T06:55:02.063-05:00Hang in there, Dorian.
