Nathan Winters - Snippets of a Serial Thinker

Announcement! : My Launch Date Has Been Set

Lately I have realized that the first question many folks ask me in regards to my journey is “when are you leaving?” And I realized it was truly one of the only solid answers I could not give in return… So I have decided on a launch date. I will be leaving May 10^th 2009 from the Maine coast. Most likely in close proximity to Portland Maine. This comes after much thought and consideration.

The biggest disappointment in this decision is the fact that I will not be in attendance for my little sister’s high school graduation. So Sammy Ro if you are reading this… I am proud of you and I love you very much. And I will do my best not to take a cross country bike ride on the same weekend as your wedding or the birth of your first child…both preferably at least 10 years away :). I will however be thinking of you and smiling as I pedal on down the road as you prepare and embark on your next journey.

The good news is that I will be spending a Mothers day weekend on the Maine coast with my family as they support me and see me off. I get random emails, facebook messages tweets and notes all of the time with constant support and encouragement from folks all over the country I have never met. But nothing is more gratifying than the support I receive from my own family and friends and I am very thankful for that.

So there you have it! May 10^th 2009 is the day I will begin riding west in my quest for adventure and my mission to raise awareness to land and nature conservation. As you could imagine I am very excited. I hope you follow me and share in my adventure!

Chaya… I miss you already!
