First DAY of blogging

More to come I promise! I just got this set up and our first days ride was very hard, 61.4 miles from the ocean (Newcastle, NH) up and down hilly New Hampshire until we reached our final destiniation of the day in Concord Lutherian Church. Being our first day everyone on the trip including myself was very excited and alittle anxious to get on the road. We had to be considering we had a wake up song in out of our not so comfy (at least for now) thermarest at 5:30am to get on the road to ride the first 6 miles from our church in Portsmouth to the Altantic which was hopefully the only eastward riding i am hoping of doing. We took photo op of all 30 of the bikes in the water ready for their cross country trip. Then we anticlimatically walked our bikes up the sandy beach to keep our parts as new and free of sand as possible to a nice little road to reconviene for some final departing words. We then left in groups to avoid congestion and we managed to get a great auspicious start by managing to turn the wrong direction the very first turn. oh well we found our way despite many more missed turns (including the turn for the lunch) yeah good story bout that. Well thats about it tonight. Orientation was great but now the true test starts tomorrow! The first second day of riding.


I pormise to post more later. I just had time to set it up and get up and running so i will make it all fansy later! Hope all is well to whomever is reading and more to come later including pictures!
