First post! So bikes shipped on Monday and 111 pounds of gear shipped yesterday.... Yikes! We will work on paring down gear in Montana.

Julie and I will be leaving Palm Springs on Tuesday, June 22 and meet Susan in the Colorado airport, continuing on to Kalispell, Montana. Then a short trip to Whitefish which we will call home for four days before heading to the Canadian border and jumping onto the trial.

I am very excited and driving everyone nuts as I am ready to hit the road. It's been about 10 years since riding across America and boy do I have itchy pants!
