Welcome! This is my blog.

Hello and welcome to my blog about my cross-country bicycle ride. I have never blogged before, so I hope I am doing a sufficient job. I leave Atlanta on Friday, May 4. I will spend two days in Akron/Cleveland, OH before I fly to Portland, OR on Sunday, May 6. I will meet up with a good old friend of mine who has graciously received the shipment of my bike and trailer. I will (in a rush) put my bike together, and then meet up with 2 other riders to carpool in a rental pickup truck to Astoria, OR. We will then meet up with 4 other people for dinner that night, and then get a good night's rest (hopefully) at a hostel in town. On Monday, May 7, we will start pedaling out of Astoria at 9 am. As I pass through towns with wifi connectivity, I will keep you posted on the adventures and misadventures of my trip. My final destination is Savannah, GA. I estimate that the whole trip will last three and a half months. I won't be able to upload photos as I go, so you'll have to ask me for them when I return. (Gives you a reason to talk to me!) I have always been told that I am a great writer, so hopefully I can paint a picture for you with my words. Sure...
Well, until next time...full speed ahead!
