The bike is ready...am I?

Hello...it's less than a week till I depart on my tour of the United States, and as you can tell from the picture, my bike is just about ready. I still need to finish emptying this apartment; it really is amazing how much junk I've accumulated over the last 12 or so years. I was talking to one of my neighbors in our laundry room and we were both laughing about my minimal amount of training and camping preparedness, but it's all good, I've got so much time ahead to master all those skills. I'm excited to see how these first few weeks go, but after that I bet it'll be cake. Happy Everything!!!
