Getting Ready!

Well its been a couple of days since the last post and wanted to keep everyone updated with what is going on. All the things that I have been ordering have been starting to trickle in (hope it all gets here by the 4th!) and one piece that we were all really excited about was the Sierra Designs Origami 4. It is a four person shelter that is fully waterproof and seemed like the perfect solution for when the weather isn't cooperating. Here is a picture of it all set up!



Its about 6 feet tall in the center and will allow us to play cards, fix bikes, and cook food while avoiding the elements!

Also is pictured is Nat and his bike. It will be getting a total makeover this week as well as a 3+ foot extension known as "BOB". He also just got clipless pedals so lets hope he can learn how to use them quick!

Well the tickets have been purchased, the hostel is booked, dehydrated chickenish bits are waiting to be packed into smaller bags, and we have been riding as much as we can. Hopefully we are ready!

Good luck! We just drove through one of the areas of Montana that you'll be riding...it's very mountainous and still snow on top of the mountains. It's beautiful, but be ready for some steep grades! Good luck with packing and your trip out there!
