All my bags are packed

I'm ready to go . . . I think!

Later this morning we leave for Seattle. I'll drop my stuff off at Mike's house, go visit with my mom, meet with the other Big Riders at 5:00, have a pasta dinner with Mike after that, and then try to sleep tonight. We meet at the starting line by 6:30 tomorrow morning and will leave by 7:00.

This is it! This is what I've been training and preparing for since this fall/winter! I'm both excited and nervous.

If my technology doesn't fail me, my next post will be from the road!

Hi Diana!!
You and barb must already know eachother! That is wonderful. My name is Ane Klomps and I did the ride last year. I am just writing to tell you GOOD LUCK!! The big ride was a profoundly moving experience for me. I hope that it meets all of your expectations and that you have a WONDERFUL time. We may have a rest stop for you in Rochester, Minnesota, and I would love to see you then. I hope you can just soak this up because sadly 48 days goes dang fast!!!!
Tailwinds and downhills,
Ane
