Getting Started


Some of you may know that I am planning this little trip to ride my bicycle across the country. It all started with a need for adventure and the desire to see the country. I've never driven across the country, so I figure biking would be a good way to do it. I found my companions and the route through adventure cycling association. It's going to be physically tough, but also very luxurious, we will have an RV for SAG and to use as a place to sleep every night. We're following the TransAmerica route from Astoria Oregon to Yorktown Virginia.

Tomorrow I will start driving down to Maryville, TN to meet up with my cycling partners and I will arrive there Wednesday night. Thursday we'll pack up the RV and do last minute errands and Friday we're driving to Oregon, but we'll take a northern route through South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore!

I still have lots of packing to do, so if I have time I'll post later. And so all of you know, this is my first attempt at a Blog, but I figured if pre-teens throughout the world could share their thoughts I could probably figure it out.

I'm sitting here in my office looking at your route map thinking what a schmuck I am for sitting here in my office looking at your route map while you're out there doing it! Can't wait to hear about as you put down the miles.

Hey Kelly! Great to hear from you. You must be very excited about your trip. Thanks for including me, it'll be really fun to follow along your ride. I'll be busy training for the Y sponsored triathlon at Cough state park Sept. 8.

Have fun!
