On Sunday we drove from Shelton Connecticut to Richmond Virginia. We were welcomed by Christine, Stan, Aunt Amy, and Kirk the dog! We spent most of Monday organizing our gear and packing it into our panniers. We guestamate that Joe's bike has 40 pounds of gear and Mary's has about 30 pounds. The gear includes essentials such as:
-clothing (bike shorts, shirts, rain jackets, long sleeved shirts, socks, undies, etc)
-camp stove
-flash lights and first aid kit
-tent and sleeping bags
- solar panel for charging phone, kindle, and computer
-food essentials (granola bar, peanut butter, oatmeal,cookware etc)
-toiletries (tooth brush, shampoo, razors, towel, etc)
-bike tools (mulit-tool, wrenchs, tire + spoke repair kits, etc)
We plan on leaving tomorrow at 9:00 AM from Ashland. Stan will drop us off on his way to work!
The weather for the week looks like rain... good thing we waterproofed!
Wish us luck!!
