A Ride of Passage

From here to there and everywhere in between. So me and my brother are biking across America this summer and this is where the details will be.

Monday, May 08, 2006

Ok, here we are. Middle of Biking; day 2. Tillamook, OR. and I dont even know what to begin to type. We have our bikes together and are on our way. Depressing fact #1 Rain, there has been rain in some form or another the past two days. Sucks. Oh well, at least it is not a down pour. This trip is unlike any other thing I've ever experienced. I really don't know what to type. We are doing well, about to cook up some lunch. After a late 1 O'clock Pm start yesterday in order to get our bikes together we have gone a collective 75 miles, with another 25 or so yet to do today. Nate's knee has been bothering him a bit, hope that goes away. My knee just started bothering me in the past 5 miles. Nothing to worry about yet. A few more hours of riding and we'll be at camp for the night.

peace and love from this side of the country,

matt (and nate)

In honor of your goals and efforts, I got the old bike out tonight and rode all of the way to the park with my son. It went really well - didnt cramp up for the first few blocks. Wish ya'll the best. Good luck.

there was an article in the paper today about biking to save money on gas. I almost cut it out to give to you but was then reminded of my mom and felt really old.....so I didn't. :) it is so good to hear how the trip is going! Press on, brother(s)!

Hey Matt, how are you doing?
It's very boring in Lincoln, very quiet.
I hope your bike will not break down, so you won't be doing 'walking across America' instead of biking.

take care,
WUT
