“What is Saturday, 16 June 2012
Alex.”
Correct and how much did you
wager? OOOOHHHHH not enough to take the
championship, sorry.
As you can see, we have been
getting ready for our trip and doing as much mileage as we can given the
day. The Saturday trip was a good one
and a fortunate learning experience. We did
make a couple of small adjustments to the bike and front derailleur, so now it
goes into the “granny gear” a bit easier.
It’s always the little things that make the biggest difference.
Our plan is to leave Tuesday
(06-19-2012) morning to head for Potter’s Campground in Lebanon, Maine; a day
of close to 50 miles. Today,
(06-18-2012) is packing and finalization day as we make sure our laundry is
done, the bike is ready, and it’s a nice day off for our bottoms. The weather is looking good for at least the
first few days of the trip so no problems there.
We want to thank everyone for
your well-wishes and prayers as we embark on our adventure. A new touring partner has joined our
excursion, Josh’s water bottle, an old friend from four years ago. He is quite the character and you can read his
story and follow his exploits at:

Our next post will be from the
road, so keep tuning in to the “same bat channel” when you can. We love you all!
