Almost There!

About a year and a half ago, when I first started seriously thinking about riding my bike coast to coast, the fall of 2023 seemed far away. Even as I arranged to take to take the time off of work, started training for the ride and began to assemble the gear needed for the journey – it seemed so far away. And now, with only weeks to go before I leave – I can’t believe it got here so quickly! In two weeks I ship my bike out to San Francisco and four weeks from today I will begin pedaling East. I am both nervous and excited. I feel ready, but my body is 40 years older than it was on that epic trip in 1983. Thanks for joining me on my trip and I hope you make it your trip too. My goal is to keep my blog posts up to date and interesting, but not too long. Here we go!
