Tomorrow it starts

I can't belive the time has finally come. Tomorrow I meet my fellow travelers-all 29 of them. I've been staying on the east coast with some amazing people-my friends in Boston and my aunt in Maine. Time and time again I can't get over how I'm one of the luckiest people in the world. I love having such wonderful people in my life.

So my big bike trip is about to begin. I may not be completely trained as I should be, but I'm full of spirit and spunk. A fireball, as Diane once put it.

I gotta go get some sleep. Love you guys, and keep in touch. Check out www.bikeandbuild.org and look at the Northern Route for all our info. We'll have pictures and journals on there.

Peace

Jess...the bicycle bum
