it is down to 39 days until departure. Everything is coming together. I just received my hand built wheels for the bike. The previous wheels I was going to use were stolen from the basement of the building. So planB had to be put in place. They are very sturdy and should hold up well to the varied and uncertain conditions that I will encounter over the trip. I am going to be scheduling the bike fitting to get the bike setup for the 7,500 miles of pure pleasure that I will be experiencing.
I have to return the solar charger from REI as it is defective. I also had to return the tent to REI as it was defective as well. Better to find these out before than during... 😳
I have gotten my first and second round of vacination shots and looking forward (not really) to the final round next week. My arm feels like a pin cushion, very soar from being stuck so many times (5 shots each time)!
I have been reading about the trip and the adventure. It says the highest climb in one day is going to be over 8,000 feet. 8,000 FEET!!! Holy quacamole! That is a lot of climbing. Glad I will have an 11-34 cassette with a 30 front chain ring. As my daughter says when I start talking bicycle.... she only hears wawawawawa when I use bike terms.
39 to go.... So close now!
