With cycling playing such a big role in how we met and how we've lived our lives together, what better way to celebrate our honeymoon than by going on a bike trip? And so the idea was born, at first as a joke, then with growing seriousness. Why not take Trek Travel up on their once-in-a-lifetime bike trip across the USA, from sea to shining sea, covering over 3000 miles in 34 days? We could go on a relaxing tropical vacation, we supposed, or explore a new part of the world-- but why not instead explore our own backyard, on our bikes, while we're young and (hopefully) able?
So this is a blog of our adventures, good and bad, for our friends and families who want to follow our progress from mid-September to mid-October 2007 as we travel from coast to coast on our bikes. We'll update whenever the internet connections and our energy levels allow. And we'll try to keep talk of saddle sores to a minimum.
Please e-mail us if you feel like it-- we'll need all the encouragement we can get!
