Opening Announcement for Jeremiah's ride
Here is a little announcement from the desk of Jeremiah Watt
#1- as many of you now understand I do a lot of silver and gold work, and out of that type of work I have brought out a couple of DVD and Video Series that deal with doing that sort of work. One of the things that folks have always made comment on is the fact that we unabashedly give recommendations as to companies for you to consider dealing with. So, I hereby Want to give you a recommendation based in frustration, not enjoyment. The folks at Forex have been inundating my blog with crap and I can’t get them to stop and take their spam crap someplace else. So mark it on your calendar that I am making my announcement here to tell you to avoid these SPAMMERS like the plague until such a time that they learn to differentiate doing business in a proper manner.
#2- Here is a post that is a little more fun to announce. Jeremiah, that is me, is going to be riding his bicycle from Cayucos California out across the hinterland of USA, until I reach the east coast of this beautiful country. I will be needing your prayers, and wishes of good luck, hoping to fend off my failing antique body parts, and avoiding being just one more grease spot on the grill of a Mac Truck as we say out WEST! All totaled the trip will be approx. 4400 miles, and I am planning on an average of 75 miles per day. I will let you do the math on total days of riding……….I am still trying to figure that out so if you come up with an answer be sure to email and win the FIRST HSBT free prize.
#3- I will be posting almost everyday while on he road via my new wireless connection, which is what I am on with this post as well. I will not announce the entire route to be taken. But I tell you that I travel thru the center of fly-over America, I have a goal of meeting one interesting person per day, I will capture my daily travel on still and video mounted camera. I will make every effort to post some footage for each day that I can get cell service. Test question number #2, how many official mountain passes will I be crossing in my trip across America. We will save all entries until the end, and the person who guesses the closest will be the winner of my last pair of unwashed bike pants…….these will be a heck of a collector item to frame and put in your sports room alongside Floyd Landis’s B sample from Tour de France.. Really, we will have some fun and find something exciting as a prize for question #2.
You can follow us almost daily at the “JW rides America”. The entire adventure will be edited and repackaged as a feature length movie to be seen on the big silver screen at some point………well okay maybe not.

Comments
Jeremiah,
Our prayers and wishes for a great trip. I am going to guess the longest day at 132 miles. Not really interested in winning used bike apparel, but some more tools would always be nice. Godspeed.
