LIFE ACROSS AMERICA 2010

As usual, when it gets down to the wire … packing becomes more earnest. (I have to write down and check off the critical stuff that I will need.)

Everything is starting to come together. (maybe?)

My new bike is now being painted, airbrushed, clear-coated (thank you Bryan at “Auto Body and More”) and should be hand carried today over to Brett and John(head mechanic) at the Trek Store in downtown Santa Rosa, CA. John said he would have the bike  assembled by the end of today or tomorrow.

Then it’s time for the “bike fit”, with enough days left to take it out for a couple of “test rides” , to test it and see how close we are to being “right on” or how much extra “tweaking” we need to do to make it fit me perfectly? (That’s always interesting when you have an imperfect body to start with, eh?)

I’m also packing leisure and cycling clothes etc., hopefully to get it down to a couple of small bags and under 35 pounds.  (less is better, yet you don’t want to forget any of the essentials!)

I’m started to get excited and looking forward to 11Jun12 … the start date for the “Be A Hero Bike Tour”!  Although I’m still a little nervous because first, I still have to get everything organized and packed for the 3 day car ride across America to Florida.

And right now, I’m heading out the door for a 62 mile training ride today on my 2010 LAA bicycle (www.lifeacrossamerica.com )

Talk to you later.
