WOOHOO! The day is finally here! After months of preparaation and thinking about it (and YEARS of talking about it), today we finally set off into the Californian desert on our 4,000 mile trek across the US!
Have had a relaxing few days in Santa Monica just warming up to the big ride. Picked the bike up on Sunday and did a ride with Kate up to Santa Barbara on Monday. The trip was about 5 hrs, so about the same as an average day of riding that we have to do for ther next 21 days.
Went and met up with Ted-Ted and Dave last night in Marina del Rey for a beer and steak (probably our staple diet for the next 3 weeks! :) Then came back to my room and spent an hour ramming gear into the saddle bags, realising that I have brought just too much stuff.
Now off to pack the gear onto the bike and then down to Eaglerider to meet the Fellas at 9.
We start our ride on Santa Monica Pier at about 11 this morning!
