I had to look up "fair dinkim" and "corroboree," but I got your meaning. Now I know I was lucky to get off with a serious beat down. A didgeridoo to the groin could have been so much worse.

Fair dinkum..they were nice to you. If anyone insults our football we usually have a corroboree on their head then pummel their groin with a digeridoo.

Hi Paul,
Google Maps just doesn't cut it anymore. I used the more reliable Goofy Maps to find those remote Australian towns and roads.

Anyway, thanks Paul. I will "write on" for as long as there is evidence of at least one person out there who continues to read my material--and maybe longer.

I'm shocked - SHOCKED - to learn this was all fiction. No wonder I couldn't find all those places in Australia on Google Maps. :-)

Write on, Greg!

Corrections? I imagine that would only be imaginary...
Fun!

I'm really glad you told me about Germany's Fifth Season. Starkbier played a big part in my journey from Ukraine to Norway, and it provided a memory I'll never forget.

Thanks for reading and for your comments.

Wow, thank you so much for expressing all the emotions my "modern-day classic of fictional worldwide bicycle travel" brought to you. I'm sorry about the huge tears. I will send you a check for the cost of a new box of Kleenex.

Again, thank you. When the book version of my classic comes out, I'd like you to write the introduction. (But maybe you could step up the praise a notch or two.)

Thank you, Ron. And also, I hope you know that your early encouragement played a big part in getting me to actually publish this kind of journal.

Yes, I made it. That ought to shut up all the people who doubted whether a guy like me could ride around the world.

I bet a lot of people will start using that gem after reading this.

Thanks Bill, and thank you for your diligence in pointing out my many continuity errors. Of course, I'm sure you also noticed I was too lazy to correct any of them.

You know I am a fan of your sense of humor and here, too, I thoroughly enjoyed your goofy adventure. Of course I was very pleased that you managed to make it to Germany for the Starkbier season. I knew you always wanted to have that experience.
So... in my opinion anyway, no reason to apologize and hope it was okay to go overboard with a fictional bicycle odyssey.
I'm sure your next journal about a real bicycle tour won't pale in comparison, though. Looking forward to it.

A modern-day classic in the genre of fictional worldwide bicycle travel. Although I was initially disappointed after reading several days of journal entries and finally deducing that this was a fictional account (it eventually dawned on me that no one could ride 1,000 miles a day - maybe for 1 day, but not several days in a row), once I recovered my composure I just went along for the ride. I laughed, I cried, I cringed at some of the scarier scenes, and I awaited anxiously for each new episode. When it all ended I cried tears as big as horse turds because I realized there would be no more. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

p.s. This was a great Season 1, perhaps the studio would authorize a Season 2. Just sayin'

I had a lot of fun reading this. The absurdism (absurdity?) Is right up my alley. Great job!!!
