Just 3 days till Jack and I board the train for Portland, OR. OMG! We did manage to get everything loaded on our bikes today. The three bags on my bike weigh in at 25 pounds. My clothing weighs only 8 pounds while Jack's clothing bag weighs 12 pounds!! The bag on Jack's bike weighs 12 pounds and then he will pull a loaded cart weighing 35 pounds. After we got the bikes loaded we then boxed things up for the train. We will check 6 bags and carry on 3 bags!! Haha!! Don't know how we will manage!
Tomorrow is a work day and Saturday is the College Rugby Championships and the University of Delaware is playing. That means everything needs done tonight - probably an all nighter!!
We wanted our trip to count for something special so we are fund raising for the Special Olympics of Lancaster County. If you can and would like to support us by making a donation, you can do so at our First Giving Page. The link is at the top of this page. Our fund raising goal is $5,000. So far we have raised over $2,000 for this great organization. Thanks to all who have donated! In Lancaster County over 300 athletes are supported by an all volunteer organization. Our $5,000 goal represents 1/7 of their annual budget!
Love you all!! Can't wait to report from the road! xoxoxoxox
