All of the paperwork is filled out, my leave of absence is official, my gear has been purchased, my training is... coming along. My checklist is complete. I just have to show up and start riding!
This will be my official blog for what I can only imagine will be the craziest summer of my life! In just 5 days I will be dropped off in Virginia Beach with a group of 34 strangers that are equally as insane as me. For the following 73 days I will be spending every waking (and sleeping) moment with these people as we ride our bicycles 3900 miles across the continental United States of America to Cannon Beach, OR.
I will do my very best to post at least once a week to keep everyone up to date on where I am, how I'm doing, what kind of obstacles I'm facing, and what kind of cool things I've seen. If you haven't followed me on Instragram yet, I encourage everyone to do that as well, nbarry.cus15.
Along the way there will be several mail drops. If you would like to send some words of encouragement, a small care package, or some extra spending money you can send them to the following addresses. They have to be there by the corresponding dates. It is extremely important that you only use USPS and that you address it as follows:

I would like to say Thank You one last time to everyone who donated to the Affordable Housing cause. It really means a lot to have all of your support as I start this journey. It's going to be a long summer full of emotions, but knowing that I have the support of my family and friends will make it that much easier to just keep pedaling.
