3 weeks to go!

I have done a trial packing of my bike bag (or "pannier" in cycling lingo) with the clothes I want to bring along and it weighed in at 12 lbs. Mike told me to thin them out- either that or we will be mailing some home after the first big hill. I'm packing for a 3 month journey and he expects me to bring only 2 bike shorts! This should be interesting!

We've started asking for pledges to our organizations- I am biking for Mt Lake PBS and Mike for North Country NPR. Some people are signing up at a penny per mile which should average about $40.00 since we're hoping to ride at least 4,000 miles. But any donation would be appreciated- and your kind contributions won't be collected until we get back.

  1. The blog looks great! It looks like you will be going through a lot of nice parks along the way, too. Emi and I are excited to follow your progress!
