Have fun and be safe; will be checking in for updates. Are you taking the green bike?
What bike are you taking?
Kent-
Great pedaling brother...

I'll give you a shout soon.

Yep, it's the Green Bike for this mission. Kind of part of my "you don't need anything fancy" message. I'm hoping to post a full packing list before I take off.
Hey Kent,
My son lives in Olympia and said you can stay at his house. Let me know if you are interested.
Bill
Are you going to be doing anything special in Portland-town? I mean publicly, of course, as we love our bike dignitaries here, and meeting with them is pretty special!
Just wondering if the general public will get a chance to hear you talk or ride with you...
Stay tuned to the blog or shoot me an email at kentp@bicyclealliance.org for latest details. This trip is constantly evolving, but I'm trying to stay in email contact as much as I can. I'm in Port Townsend right now, the land of free wifi and lots of tourists!
