Early start to a busy and fun day. Bolted up to long island on wed to drop some more stuff at my parents and spend time with friends and family. Got to see the aunts and uncle and grandparents: Rebecca, Margie, Howie, Bobby, Ed and Eleanor. It was clear the were concerned for my safety, but they were also so supportive. It was really great to get to spend some time with them.

I've also managed to get together a rough itinerary of the first leg of the trip; check out the map on the side bar. I feel that the schedule is very achieveable... Let me know what you think. Once I get near the end I'll link in to the Adventure Cycling TransAm route. Check out there site to see what it looks like. It cut across the center of the country VA to CO and then heads nw for Oregon. Hopefully Katie in VA, Olivia and the Dinosaur anarchists in KY, Darya in KS and whoever else is left in CO will be in and willing to let a stinky-grimey jac dirty-up their showers.

Taking advantage of the bus ride to catch some zzz's..

Long day of bike prep. Bags and rack and fenders all set. Bike still makintg untraceable squeel. Meeting jen here at logan circle for a swim. I hear you haven't lived in phila until you've played in the fountain.
