Introduction

On June 14th Will and I will be departing for a roughly 2,500 mile bike ride from Chicago to San Francisco.

We will be riding 60-100 miles a day, camping wherever we feel like (if we feel so inclined), and deriving sustenance mostly from peanut butter and trail mix.  We aren't trying to follow a schedule (we know better than that by now), but we should be on an Amtrak train from San Francisco to Chicago sometime in mid/late July.

In the week leading up to our departure, I will be updating this blog with background information about our trip.  I will attempt to limit my entries to only things which some hypothetical reader could possibly find interesting.  On the road, I will be updating this blog with photos and entries using my trusty iPhone.
