The Bikes Arrive

On Friday April 2nd, brother Michael brought Catherine and my bicycle down to our mother's house.  We also met Dave Werkley who will be riding the first two weeks with us.  He's a gem and we are thrilled to have his company.  His wife, Donna also came and we enjoyed the afternoon and evening together.  We took the rigs out for test rides around the streets where I learned to ride a bike as a kid and it was completely delightful!

Now we are in the final push.  Taking longer rides, gearing up the bikes and support vehicle and nailing down visits along our route.  The reality of this project is finally hitting Catherine and she's having some anxiety.  I feel better that I have someone to share mine with!!

Michael seems a little sad to let go of his babies and send them out into the world.
