Well, the time has come for the rubber to meet the road, literally! We are off tomorrow morning to San Francisco to start this crazy journey...and most importantly to raise funds for Arthritis Awareness.
I have already been having nightmares - like my bike being stolen the night before the start (maybe that was not a nightmare - maybe that was a secret wish), and we are worried about leaving the children for 9 days - the first time we have been gone that long!
tom has been a more fastidious packer than me - and has neatly labelled all our gear - so that everyone on the ride will see my name in bright orange as they ride up and pass me!! Turns out we have name tags on our bikes as well - so there is no hiding on the road.....and I will get to know everyone early on as they sail on by!
Our goal was to get in shape and to finally travel the Pacific Coast Highway - we will take lots of pictures and share them all - and hopefully we won't fall off our bikes the first day or miss dinner because we took too long to get to camp!
But let's be clear - we are not camping - as much as I love Girl Scouts - we are for comfort the entire way!
Thank you again for the support...now the fun begins........
