Mission Accomplished

Mission Accomplished
I have now ridden on all 7 continents.
What an amazing experience. After a six hour flight we landed on an ice runway that was so slippery it was difficult to stand on. I was picked up by a Skidoo and we sped 5 miles to Glacier Union Camp where I took off many of my required layers of clothing and quickly went cycling with Tony, one of ALE's guides, and an avid cyclist. It was a great day to ride, the sun was out, 5 degrees, a slight wind and we heated up quickly.
I didn't think they would allow me to just head out on my own and I'm thankful they didn't. We were told we had a 3 hour window to ride. At some point Tony calls the plane and they are in a hurry to leave because of incoming weather and we have 30 minutes to get back to the plane. Obviously we hustled and make it. It would not have been fun to trapped on Antartica without the plane
Antartica is special. Pure, pristine, majestic.
I had heard Colin O'Brady (the first person to ever cross Antartica solo, unsupported) being interviewed and knew he would likely be on the plane returning to Chile. He had finished his trek on Nov. 26 but had been unable to leave the continent because of weather. Also there was Louis Rudd, the only other person to ever sole, unsupported who had finished on Nov. 28.
While waiting to board Tony points out Rudd and introduces me. He lost 17% of his body mass on his trip and we are having a chat when here comes O'Brady. If someone has his picture taken with Rudd then I must certainly want a picture taken with him. I'm wearing my M cycling jacket and turns out he is from Portland, Oregon and a football fan. He almost went to UofM, has seen a game at the Big House, been to Zingerman's, and knew Oregon had beaten MSU in their bowl game.
I don't know how to explain this, but these two are wildly impressed that I have ridden on all 7 continents and made a special trip just to cycle on Antartica. We are on the tarmac in Chile, O'Brady is the first to leave the bus and stands up, points to me and says "this man is a legend, he made a special trip to Antartica just to complete ridding on all seven continents".
