Let's get ready...

So today is the last day before we start riding across the country. Today we had a shake down ride, which is basically a leisure ride to get the legs loose and get used to riding with each others. Maura got the first flat of the trip 1 mile into the ride - don't worry Maura, it gave me a chance to change a flat.

I spend most of the ride riding sweep with Angela, David, Becky, and Maura - just making sure that everyone stayed in front of us. I did get my first sunburn, since I forgot about the back of my legs. I won't make that mistake tomorrow, or any other day.

We painted our trailer - Upload photos below. I had to touch-up the paint job, of course after we had thrown away the paint brushes, so I had to MaGyver it and use a piece of cardboard as a paint brush.

Picture of all of us with the trailer with the "Thanks Ace" sign, as Ace generously donated the paint.

The front of the trailer - sure to make kindergarten students everywhere jealous. Check out the hand print at the top right corner of the trailer - I put 2 right hands.
