Almost feels like this is never going to happen. We have postponed our trip once again, this time it’s our very own fault. We realized our front racks didn’t fit properly. I was pretty much upset and frustrated because I was really ready to go. This is not it though.
After calling a bunch of bike stores and asking for front racks, we had no other option other than to order the racks. This would mean postponing our trip once again cause we had to wait for the shipment. We discussed having it shipped to Oregon but that would mean hanging out there until they came.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! STOP. Re-plan, re-re-search, re-analyze. RE-PACK.
After lots of discussion and juggling ideas, we came up with another plan: CHANGING OUR FIRST PLAN. So, we’ll be hanging out for ANOTHER week, but not for nothing! We’ll be running/walking the Bay to Breakers!
After that, we’ll take off to Oregon on the 19th and start our bike trip on the 21st. We’ve also changed our route, so instead of doing the TransAm route, we’ll be doing the Pacific Coast route because we won’t have time complete the cross-country one and be back by July, but if we go as far as we can, we won’t be able to get to an Amtrak station around the states the route goes by…so, we’ll be driving by the coast, all the way as far as we can go and come back home by July.
Anyway, so “the point is” that we’ll drive to Oregon, and ride down by the coast as far as we can go and come back home :) Meanwhile, we’re just bike when we can around town.
