The route

With a purpose

July 5th of the third year

I'm leaving Portland I'm headed for Minneapolis to meet a friend. Leaving Portland, I'm going to make a straight line to Anacortes, WA. From there, I'm taking the Adventure Cycling "northern tier" route some 2,300 miles east. After Minneapolis, I haven't a clue as to where I'm headed but it will certainly be somewhere -- I'll have this figured out sooner or later. My bicycle has become my home and I aim to keep it this way for a long while.

I don't intend to talk too much about the actual cycling as I don't find the physical ride or whereabouts to be that interesting. From time to time it may seem like I'm just lost in the middle of nowhere and going on rants about random shit. And well, I may be doing exactly that.

Happy trails.

-Charlie

About the author:


	My name is Charles Tronolone and I'm attempting something a bit unconventional; I'm trying to make a living by writing while on a perpetual bicycle tour. How I got to this point is a story in itself, but suffice to say that I refuse to be just another cog in the machine. There's too much important work to be done and too many eyes to open for us to be content with personal goals or riches. In late 2006, I managed to escape the machine, and now I'm setting off to help bring it down. Whether or not this website proves to generate the revenue required to keep me on the road remains to be seen. I understand that the odds are heavily against me and that this means of income requires incredible amounts of time I simply won't have. However, it's the content that is going to accomplish what actually matters in the end. Should I fail financially, there's pride in knowing that I have already succeeded in purpose -- I have helped to liberate my peers to spread truth and meaning into their own lives. If you're interested in helping my cause or have found the articles on this site to be personally beneficial or simply entertaining, please check out a couple of the ways you can help contribute. Aside from a kind donation, there is actually an easy way for you to earn $20 while simultaneously helping me on my mission. It allows you to *withdrawal cash from any* foreign ATM without paying a fee, and it's something that has saved me a lot of money while traveling. Click here** to learn more.
