Hey Vaughn
Just hanging out here for the big summary of the ride, the synopsis, the deep and meaningful thoughts now that it’s all over. Does it feel like a dream or are you still waiting for the last of the feelings to percolate up from the subconscience. In other words…how do you feel now that it’s all done ? Don’t leave it too long otherwise you might miss the essence of it.
Oh…. and also tell us what adventures may be lurking in the future…a little “finishing off” blog would be very nice.

cheers

Hey Vaughan! Good job! What an accomplishment. At the end of your ride, I got chills too when you said ‘done’. And as Carlos said, “Thanks for the ride, it has been amazing”. Will you share any more in ‘afterthoughts’? Really enjoy your writing. Here’s to mighty inspiration for your next adventure!

Congratulations Vaughn. An amazing challenge you set for yourself and you’ve “knocked the bastard off”.
You dont know me but I’m a secrect admirer and have been following your blog with great interest…don’t panic…I’m not a stalker. I’m doing the same ride ( north to south ) starting 20th December and a friend told me about your blog. The charity I’m supporting is Mobilty Dogs which is kinda parallel to your cause as it helps diabled people.
Your blog was very cool and I really liked your writing style. I would love to have a chat with you but know you have a lot to catch up with at the moment with your family friends and work…plus some well deserved R and R. Could I give you a call in the next few weeks ?
Vaughn , you are a legend.
