Day 24-Friday (Davidson, NC) 6/14/13
Posted by CJ LD on
Friday is the big day so we all wake up and have breakfast then head out to run errands. The first stop is the local retail clothes store. There, we pick out brand new clothes for the event. For me… a hat and a pair of new jeans were all I needed. After shopping we go out to lunch at a local New York Italian place that sells authentic NY style pizza. The grandparents, mom and dad, and us all sit out on the patio and enjoy a late lunch as grand dad’s brothers both show up. They sit and...
Day 23-Thursday (D.C., Washington-Charlotte) 6/13/13

Awaken by the droplets of water raining in from the cracked windows, we roll around and do our usual, wake up… close our eyes and lay for another 30 minutes” routine. Unfortunately this time we forgot that we were parked in a “2 hour maximum” zone and stretch our legs to the sight of a parking ticket on our window. That one officially makes #3 for the trip if anyone is keeping count. Our plan for the day is to get a good head start on visiting shops right at 10am so we can get to as many as we...

Because we have a ride to get to at 7 (Boston Bike Party), we have to hurry on our rounds.

As we continue to drive we find a...
Day 20-Monday (New York, NY)
Posted by CJ LD on
As we start to wake up, we realize that it’s raining and that we are still both really tired so we go back to sleep. 2 hours later, we repeat this process 3 or 4 times until it finally stops raining around 8pm. By then we’ve missed out on visiting any bicycle shops so we decide to start the drive to Boston. As we start to drive the rain starts to pick back up and eventually there is a downpour across the road as we navigate our way though the New York highways at 3am. As drive through New York...
