It is Hard To Believe! But I broke a tooth on the plane in the way to Philly..(found a dentist, fixed it and I'm as good as new ) I feel, sometimes, that this trip is like that Mario video game that the kids play where you drive along and something keeps getting thrown in your way..well I'm here to say that Dori Diana and I are SOME drivers..we have handled every obstacle and made it work!
About the bikes:
We got Merrilys bike here with little issue..we had a cute little dolly( wasn't she a sheep, too) and we wheeled her thru airports, hotels,streets and today she got reconstructed and is looking just fine...Dori and Diana's were reconstructed without any problem. We have not been able to test ride because of dental appt but I think we are good to go
Gail and Wendy:
We walked into the restaurant that they were in for lunch and were they surprised..hugs all around
They look fantastic and the whole group is smiling! Amazing...30 some days on a bike and they are happy! They are my heroes!
So far..couldn't have more fun even with the stress!
pS:
Rudy and Joanne you all remember that Rudy is the bike shop man that I first contacted to reconstruct our bikes..he and his wife had us over to a lovely breakfast in their beautiful home in the country in Washington, NJ..when my bike shows up on June 1st..Rudy and Joann have offered to meet us in New Paltz ,NY(day 3) and bring us my bike, take back Merrilys and ship it home for me!
What can I say besides there are some very wonderful people we have met on this trip!
So glad you arrived safely. What is it they used to say: it will be a story to tell your grandchildren. I think this will be a story the grandchildren will be telling their grandchildren! It's exciting to think about the fun you are having. It's a piece of cake with a few toothpicks in the middle, but boy is it worth the effort!
ReplyDeleteGood news with just a little hiccup. Curious to hear about the type of roads and I'm wondering who is cooking for the 3 of you?
ReplyDeleteDonna, so far the roads look very rideable..country..not a lot of traffic..we will know more today when we actually ride! As far as who cooks..any restaurant with a table for 3 that doesn't have the letters Mac in it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that the tooth situation is all fixed up and that you're all having a good time. Can't wait to see you all ride up the driveway!
