Monday, April 30, 2012 Education Ride 365: Progress Update One-Third Of The Way Through! One-third (four months) of Education Ride 365 has happened! The objective of Education Ride 365 is to travel to all parts of the United States to interact with educators and other citizens about their perceptions and knowledge of continuous improvement in education. The goal for Education Ride 365 is to travel 50,000 miles through 50 states on the "Cycle of Education" between January 1 through December 31, 2012. I will sleep at least one night in each state. The journey is now better than on track!  During the months of January, February, March, and April I rode: 4157.21 miles in January 3989.26 miles in February 4292.61 miles in March 5099.37 miles in April For a total of 17,528.45 miles in those four months! That puts me 862 miles over the goal of 50,000 for the year! This week I purchased my ferry passage over to Alaska and back. In late-July the Cycle of Education will be ferried over to Haines, Alaska near Juneau. It is three days passage each way. Once there, I will ride the 800 miles trek through the Yukon Territory of Canada and down to Anchorage. Then up through Denali National Park to Fairbanks, Alaska. After two weeks of riding in Alaska (a projected total of 3000+ miles) I'll arrive back in Haines, Alaska for the ferry ride back to Washington. Finally, some have asked how I intend to get the Cycle of Education to Hawaii to have ridden and slept in each of the 50 states. Actually, I don't! In late December I will fly to Hawaii and rent a motorcycle to finish off Education Ride 365. It is just not practical to ship the Cycle of Education over there! No matter, I'll still be riding and having rich conversations about the future of education in America! ONWARD!
