So I'm sure that if you're reading this blog you understand that we (Matthew Marshall and Andrew Bryson) are riding bicycles across the U.S. to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

A lot of planning and extensive research has gone into this trip only to find ourselves rebuilding hubs and brakes on our bicycles only hours before we're set to leave for San Francisco. Ridiculous. Monday the 13th of April marks our departure date for San Francisco, CA. We will be staying in Richmond, VA overnight to catch a 4 day train to the west coast. Yes, 4 days. From there we will be mailing back what we've known to be normal attire and strapping on some biking shorts for a long journey east. Can't wait...

For those of you that have already donated, we really appreciate it. Be sure to spread the word as networking is the most important tool we have to gain attention. www.pedalacross.com -- Dont forget.

thanks again and we hope that you look forward to reading about our trip!
