Time for another trip

It has been too long since I hit the road so there is a new adventure on the docket. It is another trip carrying all my gear. Only this time I will not be riding alone, thankfully. One week from today I will be flying to Bradley Int'l Airport near Hartford, CT. There I will reunite with by trusty silver bike and all my gear and head to Granby, CT. where I will meet Paul Kezmoh, my riding partner for phase one. We will ride down the Delaware River and into PA Amish country. The trip will take about 12 days. We will finish near Philadelphia. From there I will ride to Wilmington, DE to spend some time with my bro Steve and his partner Kit. I will be there 3 - 4 days and then head out for phase two. Which is to meet up with Jim Smith and Denny LaForce. The three of us will ride the length of the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. That trip will be about 2 1/2 weeks. It will be epic in scale since each day entails at least 5000 ft of climbing. In case you are not sure, that is a lot-- every day for 2 weeks.
So, I have been trying to get in shape for this. Gotta go ride.
More later. Keep checking.
