Day 1: Departure

““Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”” -- J.R.R. Tolkien

We're set to leave Nashville at 8:00 this morning. The weather looks good, we've packed our bikes with as much stuff as they can possibly carry and our families are tired of our obsessing about the trip.

We hope to make Charleston, West Virginia, by nightfall, at which time we'll tell you all about our glorious first day on the road.
