"The End"

Tour de Vida, the Bike tour has officially come to an end. It is too soon to really understand all my emotions right now. I can't believe I am back in the Boat, over six weeks after I left for this adventure. I had ups and downs like it is in life, I pushed through the hard days and with a bit of luck I made it!! Of course I had some pretty scary situations riding on busy narrow roads in Mexico. I feel like that was the toughest part, and of course the dogs. Just on my last day I got chased again. Well, I made it safe through all the challenges on this trip. I feel like it was an amazing experience and ultimately changed me a bit. I learned a lot of different things on this trip. I am sure I will use a lot of the skills I learned in the future. I hope I was able to relay the message of "Tour de Vida" to a lot of people. More importantly, I hope I got people to think about the issues this society faces. Cancer is just on of our problems, but it shows us that something is definitely wrong. I have said it before I say it one more time. Every decision we make we need to think of our grand children.

I also want to thank everybody who supported me in any way on this trip. With shelter, friendship, donations, food, encouragement, technical support and in many other forms. Thank you so much. There are few people who helped me a lot, and I couldn't have done this trip without them. They know who they are, and I owe these people a lot. I am very grateful for their help. Thanks so much guys!!!!

Thanks for following my progress during my Tour de Vida. Good bye everybody!!

The Final Destination of "Tour de Vida"

This is Sayulita, Mexico! It is a "Dogs Life" at the Beach Front Complex I'm staying.

I got my tent in the front behind the laundry and I just pop in and use different houses to cook, shower, hang out, and swim in the pool. I almost feel quilty living it up like this right now. I hope you enjoy the pictures of Sayulita.

"it is all about our children!"

I have been raising donations for the American Cancer Society over the past 6 weeks. I have reached my final destination, but I will continue my fund raising efforts for a few more weeks. I do believe that cancer has become an epidemic over the past 30 years and more research is needed why it has gotten so bad. I of course believe that it is all about what we eat and the air we breath. I took this photo just right next to highway 15. These are some of the chemicals used in Mexico. Obviously change is needed, and it needs to happen now. If we don't act now, how bad will it be in 100 years? It can only get worse! So please take the time to think about the point I am trying to make here. Thank you so much for your time, and please continue following my blog. I also posted a video about this issue on facebook, please watch it.

Almost at Final Destination!

I am in San Blas now, only 125km from my Final Destination. Tour de Vida is coming to an end. There is still time to donate to my cause. Thanks so much for following me on this journey. Please remember that it is all about the future generations to come, and time to act is now. Thanks again

"It is all about our children people!"

I have been on the road for 5 weeks now, and I spend a lot of time alone. So I guess, I have a little time to think about the world we live in. Please, think about the message I am trying to make with my journey. It is about living your life to the fullest, that of course doesn´t mean to just live in the present. Native Americans believe, that we live for our grandchildren. What we do now will directely impact them. I am really getting into my cause, and I find myself wanting to continue my journey. I feel sad that it will be over soon and also that I haven´t really done enough. I would like to just keep going south, but of course I also have financial responsibilities like student loans. Anyways, that means I have to get my ass back to Steamboat and start working again.

I am less than 400km away from my destination and could be there as early as friday. Time and life itself just passes by so fast sometimes, we wonder where the years have gone. I hope that I did make a difference, and everything was worth it. That at least one person changed their way of life, their outlook of life itself because of me. So please slow down a bit and focus on the smaller things in life, and what really is important. If you are Italien, of course it is family! If you are not Italian, it still should be family!!!! Family is forever!!! Sorry, I am going soft a bit! I am still a tough guy, a lot tougher than Arnold.

Thanks so much for your time and please think about the cancer and how so many people are sick. It can only get worse. So, time for change is now! Thank you very much for your time.

Sincerely,
