Finally! After 5 months of planning, we start the actual pedaling today.
Not that it hasn't already been an adventure. The border crossing back into Canada was uneventful, thankfully. We couldn't stuff another thing in our car but we should have what we need to run a basic support camp for the next 5 days until we get to the US border. Wilbert and Rob managed to rent a 1 ton truck from Budget that they are using to support the group on the Canada side. Still not sure what we are going to do at the border to transfer all this stuff to the US support crew that is waiting there.
I met the rider group last night. I think I will know a lot of Dutch by the time this ride is over. Of the 9 people riding, 7 of them are from the Netherlands, plus the 2 organizers. An Australian rounds out the group.
Weather looks good for the next few days as we head out. Bags are packed and I am heading down toload them onto the truck. We start pedaling in an hour!
