Prologue ....

We're in the final stages of preparation for our epic journey from Canada to Mexico, border-to-border. We're getting very excited ! We plan to leave Houston near the end of May, with stops along the way: Big Bend NP in Texas, Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and who know where else ! we expect to reach San Diego in the first week of June to meet up with my best friend Dave and his family for a short visit. AFter, we plan to take Amtrak to Vancouver, BC. From there, we'll load the bikes, turn around and then head south to the USA / Mexico border south of San Diego. We're looking to travel approximately 2700 miles in about 8 weeks. We've been training for months now, with increasingly longer and hillier rides, so we should be primed to go ! Stay tuned for more details !!!!

  4. Susan,

    It was always such a joy to work with you when I was over at T&C (or you were sent over here to Cy Fair). What an incredible adventure. Can't wait to read all about it - and thanks for taking us along (via the blog). Praying God's protection over you both! Have fun!
