Saturday was the start to this crazy adventure.  It started with me waking up at 5 am.  A full hour before my alarm and after going to bed at midnight.  I stayed in bed until 6 though as I just couldn't fathom getting up so early.

How to Read About My Trip - (all the posts in one place)

In the time that's passed since my little "adventure", there have been a number of people that didn't know about my ride and have wanted to see pictures and read about it.  Frankly, it's amazing to me. Well, it's kinda hard to just go to this blog and scroll through all the posts to find a starting point and then to read all the posts.  So, I thought I'd make this post with links to all the posts. Hopefully, it'll be helpful to people that want to read about my journey - including me as I like to go back and reread it too. Enjoy! Pre-ride posts: The trip starts in 3 weeks!
