WE STARTED

Hi everyone. I'm writing this from bear mtn state park beside a dying fire. We started out bright and early at 11 am and rode about 45 miles. It was perfect timing. Tomorrow we are getting up and hoping to leave by 7.. We'll see. 

Started with a farewell party at compo beach with family and friends 

Don't worry, we did start from the ocean.

 

We stopped for lunch about 10 miles in. 

Mmm pb &trail mix on a bagel.

And then stopped for some smoothies. 

We told the guy behind the counter we were going to California. He doesn't believe it and wants to follow our blog. I don't believe it either!

Smoothie fit perfectly in the back pocket

We then caught a short ferry ride from Ossining to haverford or something which was really cool. It only saved a couple miles but was so much cooler to take a ferry. We also have one planned for the last day in san francisco. 

We got to our camp site after a massive 5 mile hill (okay maybe 2) and a gravel road (love those). We set up camp and showered(not smelly yet!) and cooked dinner. Rice from a packet, beans an chicken noodle soup. 

I cooked and Allie built a fire to keep bugs away.

We are getting ready for sleep now but there are some pictures and updates. Love you all and thank you for all your support, we couldn't have been here with out you!
