I enjoy Walking and Bicycling for Health

I challenged myself to a walking-biking trek of the equivalent of once around the world...25,000 miles!

A walk in the Arizona Desert

 

History of my Walking / Bicycling Trek around the World

 

On January 1, 2000 I made a New Years resolution to begin walking for health.

I began walking the next day and have walked almost every day since.

In 2005 I bought a bicycle. I began riding it in addition to walking and have done so almost every day since.

 

On January 1, 2006 I made a New Years resolution to walk/bicycle the equivalent of once around the world (24,902 miles / 40,075 km).

With only 3400 walking miles and 400 biking miles logged, I had over 20,000 miles to go.

It seemed like an endless journey, but I was determined. I have walked and bicycled almost every day since. I am proud of my progress which I present below.

 

I expect to reach my goal of 25,000 miles (the equivalent of once-around-the-world) in 2020. View my trek history and details: atridim.wordpress.com/ricks-hbp-world-trek/

 

Former Webshots Members:

A special hello and welcome to my friends of the former 'Webshots', where my photos received well over 1 million views and I was ranked number one photographer shooting in the 'Arizona' category.

 

SINCERE THANKS . . .

Rick has build up a great Elite group on Flickr which is of course A Virtual Journey. He has worked very hard to create something special and has succeeded in my opinion. It is the only group on Flickr where every photo is hand picked and selected. I am very proud to know Rick and call him my friend. I have also known him and his great photographic work from our Webshots days as far back as 2001 where he has almost reached the one Million views with his fantastic photos. Rick has always been very helpful and free with his good advice. Thanks to him and his encouragement I have learned a lot. Keep it up Captain Rick I am proud of you. Groetjes Marlene :-)
