I guess this is it

My new Giant bike came two days ago and I put it together/worked out the kinks. I guess this is it. There are really no excuses for not training and riding now...unless the 15 degree weather counts?

Training is going to be very hard at first but i'm almost positive that it will be something I look forward to as time passes. Especially during school. As of now, i'm setting my bike up on a trainer in my room for riding during the week, and planning on a 50+ ride each weekend. This will get me to my required distance in no time.

I'm not a big fan of blogging about unimportant things like "what i did today". I'm going to use this as a way to document the steps along this trip that I want to remember. Maybe it will allow me and anyone reading a chance to feel the thrills and pain that go along with Biking Through America. After all, its not everyday that you spend 10 weeks riding 4000 miles with 3o strangers.
