We're getting ready. Things are coming together. Paul's and my giant two wheeled road trip is kicking off on April 30th, 2011. We'll be starting from Massachusetts and heading south to make best use of the spring weather. We're heading to Key West via lots of stops along the way. Then we'll head up the gulf coast and across Texas and into New Mexico. From there, we will zig zag all across the big blocky desert states. Then down to San Diego to start the west coast leg of the trip as we head north up to Vancouver. From Vancouver, we'll set out northeast to some great provincial and national parks in friendly Canada, then make our way toward the great lakes. After crossing the border a few times, we will cruise across northern New York and back into New England. To top things off, Paul and I will stop at Mount Washington and make our way back to where we started via Maine and New Hampshire. The plan is for this all to take about eight weeks.
This blog is where we're gonna keep you updated. Whether you're here to follow me or Paul, friend or family, you'll probably see a few familiar faces along the way. Andrea will also be posting, perhaps more often than either Paul or I, on our behalf. We will have netbook computers, but internet access and electricity might be an issue. Stay tuned, and thanks for reading.
I can remember when the only bikes Mike & Paul rode were Big-Wheels... and they weren't even allowed on roads. Now, I guess, it's a different story.
ReplyDeleteSince you aren't taking any parents along, please take these thoughts with you... Make good decisions, be safe, have an awesome trip, and come home in the same condition you left in.

ReplyDeleteMichael, this is my first blog ever, so you have brought me into the 21st century of communication!!
You are about to embark upon an experience of a lifetime, and we'll be thinking of you all along the way...watching the blogs to see where you are and the adventures you've encountered!! Uncle Lanny will be blogging on his own, I'm sure, but I know he shares these sentiments. He's so excited for you!
As you know, we've done this more than once, and yet, though our "bucket list" is short, we hope that we are lucky enough to do it one more time - This is a beautiful country with ever-changing landscapes and lots to explore!
HAVE FUN!!!
