My panniers and bicycle are all packed! Tomorrow morning at 9:00 am Barb and I fly from Salt Lake City to Seattle to begin our big Cross Country cycling adventure. This is a dream realized for both of us since we both just recently retired. It will take us about 3 months at 50 miles per day to cycle 4,280 miles from Bay View State Park, Washington to Portland, Maine. We're using some Adventure Cycling maps and for the portion through Canada, I cut up a bunch of free AAA maps to plan our route.
We're each carrying about 50 lbs of gear which includes a tent, sleeping bag and pad, all clothing and rain gear, tools, tubes, a spare tire, sparse cosmetics, minimal cooking gear and enough food and water for 24 hours. I'll update my blog as often as I find a library or other computer. So until September, "tailwinds and sunny skys!" Lucy

Your public anxiously awaits your next blog post. I hope the trip is going well so far. I hope you were able to access the pictures I emailed you.
Hey, Lucy, where are you? I picture you somewhere riding the great plains of Montan (though I know there are mountains also!) Give us a post soon!
