Day 1... a success!

This morning we put our back tires into the Pacific Ocean and I can’t begin to describe what an amazing and surreal experience it was. After a few bumps in the road (we got a little lost!) we headed into Astoria for Clatskanie, OR. To my surprise, my nerves never really set in, just excitement. It was a gorgeous, perfect Oregon day. Not to hot (obviously!) but no rain and lots of sun. Riding along the water and through the bright green trees was something straight off a post card. As far as the ride, we did hit a couple decent hills but I felt pretty good... we’ll see how I feel tomorrow!

I have to say, I was kind of feeling concerned with (lets be honest, dreading) my decision to write a blog. Its not generally my thing! However, as I was riding, I was constantly feeling excited to have the opportunity to share my experience with my family and friends. I really do want to thank all of you for your support and I hope you all know that it is your support and encouragement thats going to be getting me through the tough days.

Now, I REALLY encourage you all to follow the LVs Ride website (www.lvsride.com/social) to get day by day updates, interviews, articles, pictures and more! Also, we have a filmmaker who is documenting our trip and posting clips on our website. You can also go to www.YouTube.com/lvsride and see the video trailers that he has made. They are awesome!

Yay for a good start....
