The Beginning...

Our first blog to chronicle our cross country bike ride from Niwot, CO to Cape Hatteras, NC

Today is February 18, 2016 and we have just over two months until Angela and I begin our adventure.  We've never done anything like this before.  Yes, we've been on bike trips for up to 8 days on the Katy Trail last October, or Ride the Rockies back in the summer of 2014 but never have we spent over 50 days traveling over 2,500 miles by bike.  But, we've never been unemployed either so there's all kinds of new things going on!

This blog is primarily an attempt for us to keep our friends and family aware of our trip in a passive way.  That is, rather than blast out text messages that could become annoying, our hope is we can use blogging as a way to let them know we've made a post and then they can investigate at their leisure.  It's also an attempt for me, Scott, to put my baby toe in the social fabric of internet media.

As we're just learning to use Blogger, we'll practice posting over the next couple of months and hopefully hone our blogging and techology skills before we start our adventure.  Please forgive in advance our mistakes as I expect there will be many!
