They weren't joking

Today at the dinner we were given the rally packets and our flags. Of course it was a mad dash for the rooms so the planning could begin.

The rally packet has 38 pages with over 125 bonus locations to try and absorb and decipher the best route. We both took a look at the weather and tried to decide between heat, flooding, and possible hurricane influenced weather and when it came down to it we were both looking at similar routes.

What does that mean for this first leg? Well it means that we decided to ride together on this leg. Canada is out of the picture so it's good old USA for the next 5 days.

But now it's time to sleep.

Been watching your track from PA this morning. By my calculations, you are averaging well over the posted speed limit. :)
Thinking of, and hoping you both a good run!
