Assigned to a trip!

Hey all! So I officially enrolled today, because a spot finally opened up! You can probably see how excited I am because of all of these exclamation points.

I will be biking from Providence to Seattle from June 11 till August 21. You can see all of the stops here. Along the way, we stop some days to build. The route looks pretty exciting - starts in hilly New England, which is pretty I guess. Then we go through the Great Plains, which I've never been in. I've read about them in most of those classic American farming books (think Little House on the Prarie, My Antonia), and they sound dramatic. I love when there are giant expanses of sky, and the Plains seem to offer the biggest of all. After that, we hit Jackson, WY and Yellowstone, where I had an epic backpacking trip summer 2009. Then, we cross a few mountain ranges and end up in Seattle, WA, 3863 miles later!

I CAN'T WAIT
