Adams Ride

So long story short, I resigned from my teaching position at Sunnyside. I don't think anyone can really blame me, I've done 5 years in this tiny town,and enjoyed most of it, but, oh my goodness, I have got to move on. So I don't know where I am going, I only know that I wont be in Sunnyside. Phew, one decision down..... and a million more to go.
So that is where I am right now. Now the exciting stuff!
On Monday I leave for a cycle tour around Washington! 400 miles from the Tri-Cities to Mount Adams and back. I have been totally dreaming about this for like, a year! As I have traveled around Washington, I find these roads that are just too lovely, and I always think. "Oooh, I'd like to come back here on a bike someday." Eventually some of those roads formed into a figure eight and thus was born my "Adams ride"
So here is the schedule. My family and a few friends are meeting me along the way so that I'll have people to camp with and the rest of the time I'll be by myself, which is kinda scarry, but not as scary as some of the hills along the way.
Anyway, it should be fun. I'll keep ya'll posted.
