When I first planned my bike ride I was going to start in Michigan. My logic: I'll be going downhill the whole way (see yellow line) so all I'll need is good brakes. Then someone reminded me that it's much nicer in Florida in April than in Michigan. Even though it is uphill (see red line), it will be easier to get started on dry ground instead of six inches of snow.
My plans are set. I will be leaving Metro Airport on Thursday, April 19th and landing in Fort Myers. After I land I'll bicycle to Marco Island and spend the night. And my trip begins Friday, April 20th!

My bike is on rollers and I'm getting my butt on the bike seat tomorrow! See you in Van Wert!

Chaz - Good luck on your journey. I wish I could go with you (I think I could fit in one of those pull behind strollers). Maybe next time when you cross west to east.

Hey Charlie,
We enjoyed our time at the "pig-out" this afternoon. In fact, we stayed a little longer than normal and are now suffering from stomach aches! Just checking in to say good luck on the rest of your journey. Get ready for some fantastic experiences to come. We know you'll do great all the way home.
