Well tomorrow's the "big day". We'll be up and on the road by 7am in order to get as much mileage behind us before the heat of the day hits! Its forcast to be in the upper 80's and lower 90's for most of the route home... BUT the wind will be at our backs for at least the first week!!! It may not sound like a big deal, but it makes all the difference on a bicycle.
We had a little scare today when Simon Schmitz had a previously unknown allergic reaction to a delicious sea-food lunch in Mobile! We were graciously allowed a free visit to the on campus health service at the university (Thanks U. of Southern Al. @ Mobile!!), and Simon is going to be o.k.. And I thought all the hazards were to be found on the road...
We will not have regular internet service on the road, but I'll be updating at every possible opportunity, so please check back regularly... We'll be posting photos to the site too, but I'll have to turn A.J. loose on that technical mystery as soon as we get another access to the internet.

Just wanted to wish April and the rest of the group well on their trip! Stay healthy and enjoy the beautiful ride! Let me know if/when you're going to be going through the Twin Cities!
Hi kristen,
the closest we'll probably get is in Austin, straight south of the cities on 35. I'll be sure to mention to April to check the blog today!
Thank you kristen for the wonderful words of encouragement. The heat and the unrelenting hills can get to a person soe the words meand lots to hear. Take care of your self and tell everyone hi from Chatom, Alabama.
Thanks again,
April Wollin
