4th of July - Happy Birthday America...5 days to start the trip

What a beautiful weekend we have in Rochester...I am working on the preps for the trip. I installed the new SPD (clip on) pedals on my bike - now I need to practice using them without falling over every time I stop.
A really big Thank You to the Stewart, Middleton, Lamendola and Napp families for their sponsorships !!!
Ken and Kathy have been busy securing places for us to stay - we are almost all set all the way to Toronto - through www.warmshowers.org and a friend of Ken's, it looks like we won't have to pitch a tent until after Toronto (at best). Kathy just discovered that her bicycle frame was cracked - but they were able to replace it and are setting it up for the trip.
Christoph will cross the Atlantic (by plane) to join me on Wednesday - Thursday we do last minute stuff and on Friday early in the morning we head to Macedon, NY to join Ken and Kathy...and then off to Oswego, NY.

Have a great weekend and Happy 4th of July...
