Yesterday I picked up our bikes from the bike shop and today I was back there to buy some of the last supplies for our trip including a bag and rack for my bike. I also got some new cycle shorts and they are amazing! They have “11 mm of padding”.

That will really make a nice ride. We also got most of the food for the car and started packing it up. I organized all the bike gear into a very organized system. Esther and I should have no problem getting everything ready when we get to WI.

Also had to rewrap Esther’s handle bar tape, not fun, but it looks a hell of a lot better now.

Reading is something that I plan on doing a lot of over my vacation, seeing I’m not going to have a computer or anything. I plan on reading On the Postal Bus, The World is Flat (about a 1/3 of the way through) and Battlespace. I’d be pretty happy if I can read all three.
