This blog will describe the preparations and journey for a cross-country bike ride from San Francisco to the East Coast. My brother (Karl) and I will be posting regular updates on this adventure. We're planning on riding from San Francisco to Kansas City between 8/13/11-9/12/11 and then completing the ride in the Fall of 2012 (from KC to Yorktown, VA).

Ready Or Not
Distance - 51 miles
Ave. Speed - 15.8 mph
Elevation Climbed - 1000 ft
Temperature - 89 F
Lynn had a little family get together for Caitlin (she's headed to Miami, to get her Master's degree), and myself.
I rode out to Pultneyville with Leon this morning. The humidity was pretty bad. I'm looking forward to riding in drier conditions out west. This was my last ride before I pack everything up. My legs feel great. The bike is working perfectly. I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Let's do this!

I'm so bummed that I missed the party. I thought it was Saturday. We showed-up and everything was dark. LOL I'm such a dope sometimes. Anyway, good luck, you're in our thoughts and prayers.
