So... we are now back in the United States!
...and these are our new modes of transportation...We landed at JFK last Saturday evening. We then rented a small SUV and headed down to and REI in Marlton, NJ and then in Conshohocken, PA to purchase these awesome bikes and all the necessary gear.
We are now heading down the east coast towards Washington DC where we plan to spend a few days checking out the capital. After that our westward journey begins. We will be riding pretty much directly west towards Pueblo, CO before we turn northwest and pick up the Oregon Trail and ride it all the way to Astoria, OR. If anyone wants to check out our route check this link out:
If you or anyone you know lives along this route please let us know as we would love meet as many friends as we can along the way!
We've been riding for about 3 days now and having a great time. We rode through Queens and then into Central Park before crossing the George Washington Bridge into New Jersey. We then crossed some more bridges (a bit of a challenge) and are currently in Newark, NJ where we are picking up a section of the Atlantic Coast Route that will take us down towards Philadelphia and then onto DC.
We'll try and post some more pictures as we get a chance - but we're doing mostly camping now so will probably not be updating as often as we would like.
Wish us luck!

Still so much fun- eventhough you're in the US. How neat to see so many states!! Take lots of pictures so that even if you can't share them on your blog you'll at least be able to share them when you get home! :)
