Hey Matt! Congratulations! I still don’t know how you got down there so fast – must have been a tailwind. It was great riding with you in Central America, except for the heat… and hills… We should do it again sometime. I should be rolling into Ushuaia in 7 months or so, and I’ll probably have a question or two for you along the way. Again, great job and good luck with whatever will come next.

Matt, I still remember when we met on Day 2 of this trip just South of Prudhoe Bay and camped near the Alaska Pipeline. I have been following and enjoying your trip while finishing up my own some months ago. Congratulations on this epic journey and Good luck with your return to the normal everyday life back at home!
Cheers, Thomas.

Matt, I’ve been following along since we met in Fairbanks. I want to congratulate you sincerely and from my heart. Few people know how difficult this sort of trip really is. You’ve done it, and no doubt you’re a better man for it. Much respect to you, my friend.

Best wishes for life off the bike.

Matt! I’ve been reading this blog, off and on, since you (and I) left Shriver. I’m 2 years into law school, but you’re at the tip of the world. Think we know who’s made more progress, and it ain’t me. Congrats, congrats, congrats, & thanks for chronicling. The vicarious living was awesome.

I would like to add a little note of thanks to your very special cast iron pan. Here’s to all the delightfully scenic, exhausting, tasty and sustaining meals that were cooked in it!!!

Estimado Matt, congratulations on a dream fulfilled. Oh and you’ve slimmed down considerably. Is a 26.2-mile race in the offing for you? Hasta la vista y saludos cordiales.–Edwin
