I’m T minus 3 days for our trip out to the lake house.

For those who don’t know Esther and I are heading out to my parents lake house on the Lake of the Ozarks. We are going to spend 5 (ish) days there before we head up to Kansas City and drive with my parents up to Wisconsin to participate in Bike Across Wisconsin, a 360 mile bicycle ride through the Door county area of Wisconsin. It’s going to be physically challenging, but I think that it’s going to be fun. We have gotten our rain gear in the mail and I’m picking up the bike from the LBS (local bike shop) tonight. We have to figure out our rack systems tonight. I am going to try and use some pre-existing racks that Esther and I have from other bikes, rather than going out and buy new ones. I think that we will need a trunk bag at least though.

While we are out at the lake and on the bike trip I will be computer less. I think that its the first time in a long time I will be “unwired.” I will however be podcasting.

How you ask? Good question, better answer.

I’m taking me cellphone and I have set up a phone recording thingy through Odeo. You can check out the podcast here. I plan on posting very regularly, during rest stops, possibly on the road (although cycling and talking on the cellphone can’t be safe…) and after every ride at night. I hope to interview my family and people we are riding with to give you a feel of what the ride is like.

I would love to have a post with wordpress or a page that would automagically update with all the new entries, but wordpress doesn’t allow < embed > tags. Oh well.
