Day 1

We're finally on our way. It feels so good to be back in the saddle again.
Day 1 was fairly un-eventful. I know why there is a 6th gear now. For the damn interstates!!! They should be called i-states because an ipod really helps.We covered about 650km today, not bad considering about 2.5 hours were 'wasted' on the ferry. The weather was dry and warm - we really lucked out.
The only problem I had was that my new alpaca sweater was to hot! (Thanks Jenny)

The next couple of days are going to be pretty boring - interstates all the way. We have 2500km to go to the border!

Here's just a couple of pics from today:
