2014-03-06 Getting Closer

Post date: Mar 7, 2014 4:41:41 AM

Today marks a bit of a mile stone towards the trip. In exactly 100 days, Teresa and I will be leaving for Virginia in our Ford Focus with the bikes on top and a trunk full of gear. Jon will fly over our heads a few days later. Thoughts of this ride have hijacked all the idle moments of my days for months. It has always been something way out in the future but now the calendar says it is getting closer. Sometimes I think all the time and energy that I have directed to make this ride happen could have been better used to solve some other problem like maybe world hunger. I guess there will be time to talk about solving that one on the ride.
