WE ARE ACROSS AMERICA!!!! Seattle to NYC, on bicycles, unsupported, in 64 days.

Way to go!-- Matt, Kelley, Annalisa, Alex, Amos, Kate, and Mike (though we missed you through New York) !!!

Thanks to all the friendly, generous, kind, and helpful people we met along the way...you are a big part of why this adventure was possible and so amazing.

Matt and I are going to take a few days to relax and reflect and then revamp the blog with updates and pictures.

Cool bike shop in Minneapolis...

Riding over the bike highway/greenway bridge in Minneapolis.

Kate and Matt enjoying a laundromat picnic of fresh and tasty treats from the co-op next door.

Camping outside of the RumShack after our first century...100 more miles outside of Minneapolis

Amos and Matt praying to the tailwind gods outside of Minneapolis...unfortunately it wasn't successful.

Day "I can't believe we're in New York!"

So we're a little behind on the whole blog thing, but that's because we've been biking, well, a lot...like over 3,000 miles and through a couple more states. We didn't know if Minneapolis could be beat, but Wisconsin proved to be especially enjoyable, taking some time to eat cheese curds, hang out at the HI in Madison, and ride up the coast of lake Michigan to the Mantiwoc ferry across. After a quick tour from Ludington to Port Huron, Michigan, we just spent 3 lovely days navigating through Ontario, hitting up Tim Horton's at least once a day, and after our third century ride yesterday, we are in Buffalo!!yay!
