7 Days and Counting

A week from now I will be in Providence, RI to start my Bike and build experience. Holy cow, I can't believe it's already here. It's really exciting with everything that has been going on with trip preparation and with putting things in order at home before I leave.

I have been cycling for the past 3 months, 3 times a week, with a minimum of 30 miles per trip. Averaging about 100 miles per week. I did make a "big" trip to see my friend in Davis. A great 53 mile ride from my house. Of course that will be nothing compared to what I will be experiencing. For those of you that keep asking, Dave is great. We got to hang out around Davis and just have some fun. Who knows, I might just follow his path and move down there too... probably not. Of course I also had to ride back. That was a better ride, mainly because it wasn't 112 degrees outside.

I just would like to send out another thank you to everyone that helped out in making this trip possible. Between all my friends support, great donations from Placerville Bike Shop (I LOVE YOU GUYS) and Farmers Insurance, and for the financial donations given, this truly means a lot to me. Thank you so much. If you bicycle, or of thinking of starting, go down to Placerville Bike Shop on Broadway in Placerville. It's a great family run shop with a great staff and they will be more than happy to help with anything bike related.

So a couple things you can expect from me on this trip. I will be updating this blog as much as I can. Internet is always scarce when you are in the middle of nowhere. I will also try to push some pics on the blog too. Expect spelling and grammar mistakes. I will not be in school on this trip and you will be able to see that very well in my writing. Thank you again to everyone. THIS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU!!!!!
