Less than 3 Weeks til Adventure

Hello everyone! Welcome to our blog. In less than 3 weeks time, Robyn and I are going to leave Seattle and start riding our bikes down the West Coast, then continue riding for quite a while. We'll be working on farms along the way, hiking, camping, couch surfing, staying hydrated, and generally having an excellent adventure. Our tentative plan is roughly outlined in post-it notes on this map.

The pen and the large cluster of post-its in the center of the map are not part of the route

There is some logic to the color scheme: pink labels are places we are planning to be at a specific time, purple labels are places that we'd like to visit along the way, green labels (which are really hard to see in this photo) are spots where we'd like to go backpacking for a while, and the yellow ones are reminders that I wrote to myself. Disclaimer: This is a slightly outdated photo of the map -- there have been additions since this was taken, but in the clutter of packing/purging, the map is temporarily at large. Stay tuned for more updates on that front. Also, if anyone has any recommendations of places to visit along our route, please feel free to suggest them. 

Over the next few weeks, we are going to be getting rid of a lot of our worldly possessions and practicing our packing skills so that we can (fingers crossed) fit everything that we're not taking with us into a single closet. 

Though not as exciting as a bike trip, this too will be an adventure

So stay tuned for more updates as we prepare for, and soon embark on a very long bike ride.
