Its our 1 year anniversary today!!!

One year ago today, May 14, Ira and I checked out of our apartment at 2658 W. Cortez and began riding around the country. It was a rainy day as we rode to the Indiana Dunes State park for our first night on the road.




Here we are 1 year later, 7,300 miles later in Richmond Virginia on our way up the east coast.



For a look at our routes, click the links above in the header of our blog. Wow, what a year. We've struggled through 100 degree heat waves as well as freezing cold nights with 2 inches of snow! We've battled long droughts and torrential coastal rain storms. We've ridden though mountains, deserts, plains and hilly farmland. We've been in rural country scattered with small towns, in the uninhabbited stark forested wilderness with more moose then people as well as the biggest cities in the country. Thank you so much for keeping up with us through it all. We still have a couple months left before we hit our end goal of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, so stay tuned!
