Today we set out on our first (and in Mike's case, hopefully not last) cross country bicycle tour. Hooray. It's too early in the morning for me; I imagine this is going to be a recurring theme throughout this trip.
For those of you wondering how much training and/or planning has gone in to this wonderful journey, the answer is a lot. On Mike's part. Sort of. If you'd like to follow along, watching our progress in a detailed fashion, please visit Adventure Cycling's Northern Route map page. This is the route we will be provisionally taking. For the time on our trip that we aren't lost. Hopefully not being lost is our status quo.
Mike is going to be riding a recumbent bike, I'll be the one on the diamond frame. We'll have some pictures at some point in the trip. For now, I'll leave you with these words.
If you plan on reading this until we make it to our destination, prepare to witness these two things: the transformation of a Fat Man into something less rotund but no less jolly, and a Beard's effort to transform into something a little less fuzzy. Thank you for watching.
So long, and thanks for all the good wishes..

Congratulations on completing your first day! Pittsford-Spencerport-Holley: 31+ miles (approx?).
Post details when you can :)
What an exciting adventure. Thank you for sharing it with us. While I wish I could be on a bike with you guys, you blog gives me the opportunity to be part of your experience in a way. Continue to have a wonderful and safe trip and I am looking forward to reading and seeing pictures too. Regards from Ora and Efrat's family. They are all impressed. You inspired the kids to get on their new bikes and take a short trip:)
