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

It is so good to hear from you. We are plotting your travels on a map. We have traveled most of the roads you are on (not as close to the earth as you :) however, we are with you in spirit right in the middle of the wheat fields. We can't believe you have been on the road for 5 days already. Way to go !!!!
HI Guys,
So glad to see your blog updated! We enjoyed hearing about your first 4 days. Sounds like you are doing great! We can just see you riding through beautiful seas of wheat fields, and that warm Eastern Washington wind blowing you along!! I can imainge how that bike seat must feel by now, it will become very familiar by week 7!! What a blessing this trip will be in many ways, you will have amazing stories to tell I'm sure! Miss you already! Take care. Ride on!
Hugs, Don and Pam
