Boy oh boy has it been huge 4 days. We have experienced wind, huge hills, big trucks, nice riders ,new people and a lot of pasta. I am hungry constantly. We couldn't blog because we couldn't get the computer to work. WE rode through the prettiest area yet. The wheat fields right before you get into Spokane. The wind was lightly blowing it as we rode by. The only problem I see doing this ride is araw hide .We are working out the bike and problems with it. the brakes caused us some problems this morning. We ended up having a great ride through t;he wheat fields. They were so beautiful and had a wonderful tail wind. this is truly and experience I will never forget. I think we are going to get stronger in character and strength. Sleeping on the ground hasn't been a problem just our lack of packing of things. they say we need warm clothes for the Rockies. So we lug along. I thank everyone who has helped us and we feel all the prayers .They really watch out for us . We have this great mechanic named Dave who is helping us out. The stories each rider has and the reason for doing this is amazing. Its 7pm I think I shall be retiring here soon. Tired with a couple T. Trish

The ride into Spokane

Hi everyone, we are in Spokane and it is really hot. We made it over Snoqualmie pass just fine. I think that first day energy got us through the hills and the semi trucks on I-90. Our first night let us know about organization and how little we had. The next stay in Vantage was much better but we regressed last night in Odessa and couldn't find anything. We are doing laundry for the next week and doing repair and cleanup on the bike. We only have had one flat towards the end of the ride into Odessa. Greg

Here we go!!!

Its countdown to leaving on Monday. We are trying to fit all the sundry stuff or should I say #### we are attempting to take. Will we be leaving things along the side of the rode. I have a feeling there will be a wonderful scavenger hunts if people follow us. I am nervous and don't think I'll shake that till I am pedaling. We buzzed Greg's hair off last night. He looks cute with really short hair. Andy and Hailey were ready to do mine but I said no . I am going for the glamorous ponytail. Its been hard this week for me realising that I am leaving all the people I love so much but never fail I'll be back soon. America here I come.
