I am sitting here on the computer compiling list after list of things that need to get done before we leave for our bike trip. Well, I was. And then I got distracted and was surfing the web. It seems to happen more often than I am willing to admit. We leave in 2 days. I am so excited. Here is the grand plan-
Wednesday- McKeesport, PA to Confluence, PA (71 miles)
Thursday- Confluence, PA to Cumberland, MD (63 miles)
Friday- Cumberland, MD to Hancock, MD (60 miles)
Saturday- Hancock, MD to Harper's Ferry, WV (64 miles)
Sunday- Harper's Ferry, WV to Washington DC (61 miles)
It should be interesting to see me try to pack for this length of time and carry so little. What is REALLY necessary? And then I think of how gross my clothes are going to be at the end of every day. Everything I am taking has to fit in my Camel-back (which will mainly consist of food and water), and another small backpack that I am bungee-ing on to the back of my bike on a little metal rack.
We dropped our bikes off at the shop today for a 'tune up'. I went grocery shopping for more Cliff Bars than I have ever bought in my lifetime. I dragged out all the 'travel size' toiletries. I have even made the list of the kids' schedules and stuff like that for my awesome friends that got suckered into watching Peter and Brooke. (they rock!!!)
I am looking forward to a good 5 days of sweat, sun, rain, beautiful scenery, and a really sore bum. Bring it on.

You guys are crazy! I wouldn't mind riding that far, but I would need a shower and bed each night. Anyways, have fun on your "date" and take lots of pictures.
Enjoy, that's awesome!
