Welcome to our site!
Our goal with this site is to keep family and friends updated on our adventures. We want to stay connected with you! We hope to use this blog as a way to do that.
We will be sharing our thoughts on why we decided to do what we’re doing, how we decided to go where we are going, and then let you discover and explore the areas with us as we post images, videos and thoughts about what we are experiencing.
If you have questions or just want to get a hold of us, don’t hesitate to contact us.

The reality of riding 462 miles over 7 days still seems surreal.
And, we continue to unpack our thoughts and feelings about this epic adventure.
