A Precursor to the Transamerica...

as you may know, in the summer of 2010, cailyn and i plan to bike across the country on the transamerica trail...so this summer we are dedicating quite a bit of time to training, practicing, and preparing.

we have been doing quite a bit of riding, but this weekend we will get our first real adventure cycling test...

missouri lays claim to the longest rails-to-trails route in the US...the katy trail...

we will be riding saturday, sunday, and monday with our great friends justin and tracy schroeder, hoping to make it from st. charles to sedelia...totaling roughly 240 miles. it is exciting to just have a chance to get out in God's beautiful creation and to be able to share it will friends.

it will also be really good to test where we stand in preparation for next summer. what it feels like to pull a fully loaded trailer, what it is like to ride major miles on consecutive days, how many calories we need to take in and in what intervals...

there is so much fun stuff to begin to learn. i am excited...it should be a great time.
