Family and friends.....follow along with us as we make our way across the United States by bicycle. The six of us will depart the west coast on June 14, 2010....three friends by bike and three family members by car....in hopes of reaching the east coast in 8 weeks. The following journal will be updated often with stories, pictures, and videos of our journey. We hope you enjoy.

Sunday, June 13 - Day 0

The whole gang is finally together. We picked up Kyle and Bobby at the Portland Airport around noon and headed out to our starting point, a campground just outside of Neskowin. It is a quiet little private campground that is just about 1/2 mile from the shore. It is a little chilly here today....mid 50's and very windy. The ocean is really rough. Not sure if that is an everyday thing or not...probably so. It is about 6:30 p.m. right now and we are all using the campground wifi before we head out to get a bite to eat. I am not sure how often we will get internet services, so we are going to use them when we can.

Everyone is very excited to get this under way tomorrow. It looks like it will be pretty cool in the morning, but should get a little better as we move away from the coast. We plan on dipping our tires in the Pacific fairly early tomorrow morning, and then get on our way. Not a whole lot else to say today. Here are our relevant pictures for the day:
