The Future for PortlandCruz

Thank you, everyone for all the kind thoughts and wishes over the last few days. Matt broke out of the hospital Wednesday afternoon and has been doing well. Yesterday we went back to ACA to plan some more tours and to hang out with some of the coolest people around.

Tonight he and I head back to Sacramento on a train after we watch The Dark Knight Rises. From there I'll pedal myself back to Santa Cruz, stopping in the Bay to visit some friends. Lorenzo is going to keep going but along a different route. Instead of going North to Glacier, he'll be heading South to Yellowstone, then heading East, sweeping by Mt. Rushmore and Badlands and eventually getting into Michigan.

I'll keep updating about my short adventure back and we'll let y'all know about Matt's healing progress. Thanks again for all the kind thoughts and support. The adventure isn't over, it's just on pause.

  1. I love the "spirit"! Enjoy the train ride back to California. Landscape from trains is always fun. I love the pic of Matt on crutches with that Big Money Smile! Cheers to All

  6. Bummer about Matt's leg man, and the early termination to this whole thing. Stop by in Mountain View on your way back, if you feel like it.

    Lorenzo, have a safe trip to Marquette, Michigan where we are waiting for you with warm showers, Lake Superior, kayaks, beach fires, pasties, blueberries, and lots of hugs.
