Ewan and Charley.

Long Way Round. If you haven’t seen it and you’re reading this, get yourself to netflix and watch this. Talk about adventure riding! Ewan MacGregor and Charley Boorman set out to take a once-in-a-lifetime motorcycle journey around the world. These guys had a dream to circle the globe on dual sport bikes and go from London through Europe, across Asia and then travel across the USA ending the journey in New York. There is something so fascinating about this trip that I couldn’t wait to see the next episode when they ran it on A&E. The successes and struggles these guys faced while travelling across the world were epic.

Conditions being what they are...

I have spent the majority of my adult life being unhappy with my weight. Mind you, I'm not considered "overweight" but I have just never been happy with my weight.
Seems like a good time to do something about it.
This trip will make a great goal for getting in shape and working through the health aspect of better living. Running a few times per week is a good start and will help with the cardio as well as the weight.

Andiamo.
