Fully loaded and ready to go- my dress rehearsal ride through the scenic Champlain valley had me thinking, "damn, my bike is heavy; I'm glad I didn't try to tackle any hills today.".... and that's exactly what we'll be doing a few days into our ride- tackling hills... I mean, the CASCADE MOUNTAINS!! Even with plenty of room left over in the panniers, I'm seriously thinking of trimming down. Out with the mountain pie irons, kerosene lantern, texas hold'em set, and terry cloth robe.Seriously, though. This mule told me were going to have an incredible journey.
See you on the western side, Davey.

Maybe you could strap your bags on Ol' Sal there. Nothing like traveling with a mule
Just once, for the record:
I am jealous.
That's the most beautiful picture I've ever seen. Gantz and his namesake... the ass. I send all my love and luck and will make sure to get you two good and sauced when you get to P-Town. And seriously... if you need some roadside assistance when you're in the NW, give me a call. I'll bring Gatorade, whiskey and new tires. -Capt Clio
wow...you guys are doing it. Can wait to hear of and see pics of your weak legs, awesome vistas, roadside repairs and personal accomplishments. My I am envious! roll on.
Hey Jeremy,
Hope you and Dave have a good trip, good health, and lots of endurance!!! Be sure to post lots of pics for the family to keep track of your whereabouts. We'll be looking forward to your stories over the holidays! We love ya, Aunt Andy
Just remember, the more weight you have in those saddle bags, the faster you can go on the downhill. So don't ditch those pie irons quite yet. You'll be passing semi trucks in no time!
terry cloth robe???
