Leaving on a Jetplane

Good day everyone.

Today is the day, actually tomorrow is the day we start. Today is just the day that I am flying out to BC. Just a little nervous. Looking ahead it seems like it is going to be a LOOOOONG journey home, but in many ways it really is a long journey home. We will take it one day at a time, one kilometer at a time, one pedal rotation at a time... kinda sounds depressing when i put it like that. How about I say it like this: We will take it one day at a time, one breath taking view of the Rockie Mountains after another, one AMAZING sunset and sunrise on the prairies after another, one very strong and constant eastward wind day after day. Anyway I am still really excited. Still have to buy a bike lock. Note to self: buy a bike lock. So the plan tomorrow is to go to Mile zero of the trans Canada Highway dip the front wheel of my bike in the Pacific and start pedaling East.

Simple plan. Wish me luck.

hey you guys, that's so exciting!!! :) hope the flight goes well. don't forget to buy a bike lock (don't skimp)! and bike computers, in case you don't have them... it might be fun to one day know how many thousands of pedal rotations you actually made.
