I am now running a little bike shop right off the (transam) route in Draper Virginia. The Junction at the Draper Mercantile, hadn't opened when Abi, Micheal and I rolled through my hometown of Pulaski County.
It was through a cyclist touring the U.S. by bike named Moon that I became aware of the Junction much later. Though he got a late, start his determination was clear. I rode with him one sunny October day to Draper where I poked my head into the doors of the Junction. The rest has worked out magically.
I have been able to help out a number of wonderful folks on the trail already and am loving every minute of it. Well maybe there are a few minutes that I wish I was out there.... but then I realize I am exactly where I need to be. Helping visiting cyclists in the mountains I'm proud to call home.
The TranSlam opened my eyes to the impact that a simple-simple-simple act of kindness could do for the heart.
LOVE T!
