2 Weeks to Tour Start
Only two weeks until we hit the road. Training is going well, mostly saddle time now with some hills. As you can see from the picture I have starting the packing process. The bike leaves for Seattle this Friday. With the tour being in the US it is much easier to purchase things so I don't need to pack for the entire trip. I have started to see EMAIL from the other members of the trip. The first email from a group member was concerning bringing power strips so that everyone could charge their laptops and phones. That sparked discussion from a number of the members. A few years ago this would have been very different.
The planning is almost finished. There are a few loose ends for the end of the trip in DC. Since it is so far out, August 8th, it will get finished on the road.
I will be leaving for Seattle on Saturday the 17th to spend a few days with my mom and sister prior to the start of the trip.
