Me, I need to add to my list...I have been to Australia and driven on the wrong side of the road, I have kayaked the caves of Santa Cruz island, scuba Catalina, multi sport trip to Colorado that included hiking the narrows of Zion, canyoneering in Moab, mtn bikin in Moab, river rafting in colorado in a thunder storm, done the ride to San Diego and took the train back, rode a trolley car in San Fransisco, went skinny dipping in the moonlight of a local beach, rode a horse at full speed, had fresh scallops in conneticut, seen Haleys comet, had 2 kids and 2 grandkids....yup I'm an old fart

I still need to do the Ensenada ride, ice skate Rockefeller Center at Christmas time and work on world peace

All that said, thankful for every sunrise that greets me each day cuz if I miss one, I can try again tomorrow.... Live Love Laugh

You rock! Definitely going to do some of those things as I pass through on my bike

Ooh yeah. NY at Christmas/New Year's. Justin and I discussed it a few years back!

Also: see the Superbowl, live, and shake the President's hand (note: not any one in particular, just The President of the USA).

Well I have done al ot of things in my short life. I guess just cherish the things I have done, and never stop thinking about the things I need/want to do.#1 is be a good father!#2 do everything I can to help those in need.Life is to short to be mean. Making people smile is my real goal.

I fell in love with France in 2000. We took the tandem over for a one month, self-contained tour where we rode over 1000 miles.We loved it so much we went back in 2001,2003,2006,2007 and in 2004 I did a two week organized tour where we saw a couple stages of the Tour. I love the self contained trips though. No real plan. Throw a dart at the map. I miss it so much.
I love France and I love touring.
We go again in October but it's only for a week or two in a time share. The dollar is getting it's a$$ kicked by the Euro. Because of that we needed to take a break.
We will stay in one place as opposed to traveling every day unsure of where we stay each night.
My dream is to own a place in the country in France and just ride my bike each day and go to markets and listen to bird sounds instead of the constant irritating din of cars!
Here's a few pictures from some of our trips.

1. I want to earn the respect of my fellow riders as threat on the track. I know it doesn't sound like much compared to the other goals I've read on the thread so far, but it's important to me.
2. Buy a house

3. Stop moving

4. Complete an entire BMX season

5. Learn to make a kickass brisket.

Things I've done so far:
Lived in Europe-twice, pulled over a 1,000 lives out from harms way, realized my childhood dream of becoming a police officer, touched a cloud at 7,200 feet, become a father and husband, took a leak in Sherwood forest.

[mscalepic]

This is a great subject. My goals are:

1. See a Super Bowl Live
2. See the Seven Wonders of the World
3. Finish my B.A. in anything
4. Travel Europe and the Orient
5. Have a grandaughter in 15 or more years

I have been to Australia, Saw the Angels win the world series, saw the lakers win the playoffs, ice skated at Rockefeller center at Christmas, flown in a private jet, but my son has been to Europe and I haven't.

[hellboundheroic]

Here it goes...

1. Travel Europe, Japan and Australia
2. Hike the Appalachian Trail in one shot
3. Visit every state in the USA
4. Learn to surf
5. See the Redwoods in the Northwest
6. Build my own house
7. Have a family
8. Work as a white water rafting guide
9. Win a race, mountain biking or otherwise
10. Be self employed

Things I've done so far that were on this list...
Lived on both coasts, toured with a band, got a record deal, got engaged, climbed Mt. Katadhin, went to art school, went to Canada and I've seen about half of the USA so far.

If you're serious about this Tim's (Jasonmason) roomate is a guide. He loves to talk story and I'm sure if you joined us on a fully loop ride he'd get you connected with the right people.

[uzziboy]

1 drive from coast to coast on the old route 66 stopping at every baseball field and singletrack I can.

2 Travel to europe and ride

3 Watch my 2 kids grow up to be great people

4 hit every bike park in US and canada

5 start my own business
