this one's for teri

The other day we received all the 'adventure cycling' maps in the mail - Teri, the sales and marketing director, was even kind enough to throw in a handful of stickers and a short letter wishing our film the best of luck...



It's the least I can do, but I wanted to take a moment and dedicate a post for Teri & adventure cycling - their involvement and generosity made a world of difference, and of course I can't forget that they were the first to put any stock into the project. I'm truly proud to be associated with them in any way, shape or form. For those of you who don't already know who they are and what they do, here's a cut & paste from their 'about':

"Our mission is to inspire people of all ages to travel by bicycle. We help cyclists explore the landscapes and history of America for fitness, fun, and self-discovery".

Everyone understands fun and fitness, but what about self-discovery? Well, all we can say is, judging by what we hear from cross-country cyclotourists stopping in at Adventure Cycling headquarters, traveling by bike is a truly life-changing experience. A common observation is that crossing our nation by bike is a way to see it at its best.

So, I know this is short, but in closing - I most of all want to thank Teri for all she has done. During my first trip I rode right past the adventure-headquarters in Montana without stopping... I think this time I'll swing by and shake her hand. Until then.
