Well, here I sit, about 1 hour from the start of my journey. Though scared and excited, I am so glad that Josh is here to see me off, and for the love and encouragement that everyone here has sent. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers every single day, (particularly when attempting a long incline!)
Yesterday, I met the riders and the support staff. Lot’s of people from all over, including the UK and the Netherlands. We have a couple riding a tandem bike, and a few that make their home in an RV, and will be following along as part of the support staff. My new best friend is Lance, who says he owns no car but 8 bicycles. He’s my friend, since he will serve as the mechanic for the trip. I’m glad he is here, but secretly hope I don’t have to deal with him too much. We shall see! I love you all so very much, and will see you “soon”.!
