I Wish I Could Fly

Well, I've finally got round to booking up flights - flying on 2nd April then pedalling out of Seattle on the 5th. As an aside, I've just realised that in the 13 or so hours it'll take me to fly there I'll travel around 5,000 miles ..... and it'll then take me 80 days to cover the next 5,000. Hmm, perhaps I should get me one of these to help me along.

Anyway, I'm off to pack up the kit as I'm doing my first fully-laden overnight training ride tomorrow. Here's hoping I make it back in one piece as I'm venturing over the bridge into the 'kingdom', figured going there should help prepare me for the joys of the deep south. Scared.

Oh, and on a different topic, for those of you asking, no you can't sponsor the bears! But thanks for the thought Col.
