June 1st - Update

Today begins the journey of a lifetime for our team of riders. Friday, June 1st was primarily a travel day. Gary & Bob arrived safely in Oregon and picked up the chase vehicle. There were no glitches or lost luggage. Way to go, United Airlines! They are currently heading down Interstate 5 towards San Diego. The others left this morning with the big van full of bikes & equipment. I haven't heard from them, but hopefully they are making good time as they head west. Gary says that the motor home is deluxe! It is a 40-foot Monaco - has a washer/dryer, stocked refrigerator (thanks Monaco!) and will be a very comfortable haven for them over the next month. We are very grateful that they will have nice accomodations along the route. Please check the blog for daily updates - and thanks for your good wishes, words of support, and your prayers for the safety & success of the riders.

Albert Salazar and Steve Hosinski left South Bend on Friday morning in the Penske truck full of everyones equipment and as of 6:00 this morning were going through New Mexico and so far have driven through a terrible softball sized hail storm in Oklahoma or at least it seemed the hail was that large, but they safely made it through. They are expected to arrive in Oceanside by 6:00 pacific time.
Good luck guys, keep truckin'
