This was the most exciting yet frightening day yet. We are
finally getting on are bikes! We got up at 5 in the morning.
The girls and I needed all the time we could find to get
ready. The first thing we did was put away are sleeping
pads, and pack everything so we could hurry up and put
the tent away. During all this process I wasn't even excited
to get on the bikes anymore, I was scared! For breakfast
we ate a muffin and had a banana. Right when I herd Kevin
say, "Okay, let's go!" My heart was pounding! I did not
want to peddle onto that road.

We finally got out onto the rode. We were on our bikes, the
feeling was amazing. The open road with nothing but the
beauty of nature surrounding us all around. The feeling of
being in nature that I had never paid attention to before. I
felt like I had been cheated on all other travels because
when I rode by in the car I paid little to no attention to the
surroundings and I never really stopped and look to
appreciate the scenery . Its a Life changing moment when
you realize that the smallest things can make a difference
or in this case the huge things you ignore on the road.

Riding the first couple of days were physically challenging
but I think the mental part of it was the most difficult part of
riding. Also because I had fractured my wrist right before I
went on the trip and I couldn't do anything to train for this
tour but I can't really blame that because nobody really
had that much training anyways, but that was a big mental
