Well, “The Trip” is going to be our grand adventure! Barri and I are going to tour a good part of the country, looking for places to mountain-bike! For part of the trip we’ll also have my cousin Adrian along – he’s always good company, or at least good for a laugh, when he does his bird imitation, flapping his arms, hopping down a hill on one foot, trying valiantly to unclip his other foot from the pedal, bicycle dragging along behind him!

We’ll leave Texas, then go through Oklahoma to Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, before heading back to Texas.

Lots of mountain biking, and lots of picture taking. Should be grand!

Here is a tentative look at the route:

… and who the intrepid adventurers will be:
