The Countdown Begins!

After years of dreaming, and months of planning, we are finally embarking on our bike tour! Although we won’t be riding through the redwood forests of the Pacific Coast (because our house happened to sell in the Pacific rainy season) I am equally excited about the challenging journey that awaits. Everything happens for a reason and one huge benefit of biking a Southern route is that we will be riding through places that we probably never would have planned on visiting. We will eventually make it to the Pacific Coast, but for now we have to “row with the oars we have been given” and improvise.

On December 11th, we will push off through the cobblestone streets of Charleston, SC and head South. Our current plan has us following the coast through the state of Georgia to St. Augustine, FL. After sipping from the legendary Fountain of Youth we will point our tires West and trek across the Florida pan handle. Our plan is semi open-ended and we are unsure of how far West we will go. My goal is to make it to New Orleans. Who knows, we might even roll in during Mardi Gras!
