Today we finally left on our journey, it has taken so much work and created so much stress, but well worth it once on the road.Our driving policy is backroads except when in an emergency.
As you can see we spent the day packing our Pelican caces.
We left after the sun set and had a wonderful farewell party with Sue, David and Chris. Our route west followed roads that Colin had previously utilized on "the other kind of bike" and included an excellent dirt road short cut in Barre. From Barre we headed around the north end of the Quabbin and over Shutesbury into the Pioneer Valley. It was below freezing during most of the ride and our bodies core tempatures dropped quite a bit so by the time we found our way into Jake's house we were shivering uncontrollably.
So like any rational people would we raided Jakes food kitchen and ate his soup, pasta and tea. (Thanks Jake!)
We then jumped under blankets and watched a Pearl Jam DVD while planning our route for day 2.
