Day 1-ride2cooltheplanet



There is no place on earth more beautiful than the West Coast of California. Matt brought back some ocean water in a bottle for Solly and I to put on our tires. Solomon really didn't want to miss the end of the year performance and party at his school today, and I was on-call until 8am, so Matt and Yonah were our proxys. It is after midnight and we are finally packed and ready. I am looking forward to leaving already, and just getting on the road. I feel so lucky that for the next two months, I get to go on a nice, long bike ride EVERY DAY!
The next time you hear from us will be the first town with a public library.
Love,
Djina

I read about your trip in the Hutchinson News in Kansas. I look forward to following your blog. I used to meet many bicyclists at my previous job, and this is the first summer I won't be there. I was glad to find your journey to follow this summer! Best of luck to all of you, and if you need something good to eat or a place to stay in Hutchinson, let me know at tamsujan@yahoo.com and I can help out! Tammi

Yonah, Solomon, Matt & Djina,

We are so inspired! Every day, Chenoa's asking, "I wonder where Solomon is today." Everyone following the trip is not only learning about global warming, but their geography as well! Thanks for keeping the blog.

Have a safe and healthy trip. May the wind be with you. And remember, there really is a top of every hill.

Pam and Chenoa
