Mike took us to airport @ 5:30 am w/2 huge bike boxes & all the clothes we could carry on our bikes for 6 weeks. Stop over in Phoenix where my Super Senior Tennis Team made it to nationals last yr. Lay over in Oakland–flight attendant announced NO PEANUTS because passenger had allergy–got pretzels produced w/peanuts. In Seattle took shuttle to Lynn’s. I met Lynn in 2002 on our Cross Country Bike trip (San Diego to St. Augustine) She was the youngest biker in our group at 50. Also had hiked the APPALACHIAN TRAIL–which is longer than the bike trip. I thought about doing it once for 2 min-don’t like hiking, camping or carrying more on my back than I can put on my bike. She works at the VA Hospital as a surgical nurse. Haven’t seen each other in 4 yrs but seemed like yesterday–special bond we formed on our ride. Walked to A VEGETARIAN restaurant-ate a big mushroom for dinner.

Been waiting for an update! Glad you made it there…only 1.5 months of biking left! We’re holding down the fort, there have been a lot less calls since you’ve left! Ryan misses grandpa, so Daddy has had to take over swing duty! Ride safely!!
Just typed you a long comment that I’m pretty sure got deleted because I wasn’t logged on! Glad all is well with you guys…I was worried since I hadn’t seen a post! We’re holding down the fort here…Ryan misses Grandpa, so Daddy has had to take over swing duty! Ride safely! See you in 1.5 months!
