First of all and always, great gratitude to my G-d, who is my Father and the giver of good. He has breathed life into me and given me this beautiful earth to reside and roam.

Much thanks to Neil Gunton. Neil's site, 'Crazy Guy On A Bike' (Crazy Guy On A Bike) was one of the first online bicycle touring journal communities I had ever seen. Neil's site got me thinking about the idea of doing my own site, and certainly was an influence in how my site was to be set up. However, It wasn't until I saw the webmasters' work at, 'vinylbmx', a bmx bicycling site, that I decided to do my own site. Perhaps it's hard to see the influence, and one would not think a bmx site a likely source, but I drew much inspiration from the vinylbox site, as well as from the photography of the truly talented, David Leep, who has work posted at the site (www.davidleep.com) David can photograph bicycles like nobody else can, and has more talent than any one man should be allowed.

I'd like to thank William, whose suggestion to use 50megs.com to host my website was the perfect suggestion.

Ideas are no good if you don't know how to execute them. That's where Prakash (Praxy.NET) comes in. I'd like to thank Prakash for all his help with this website. His ideas and assistance have been invaluable to me and are evident in each and every page of the website.

And finally, I want to express much thanks to all those who have offered me a place to stay, refilled my water bottles, or just stopped to say, 'Hello' while I have been on tour. After the miles are ridden, the sights seen, and the gear stowed away, its always the people I remember most and leave the biggest impression on me.
