back on the road

The enormity of our endeavor escaped us in those moments; all we could see was the dust on the road ahead and ourselves on the bike, devouring kilometers in our flight northward. Ernesto "Che" Guevara - Notas de Viaje
it sounds nice. poetic. but to be honest we (that is jon and i) are wallowing in shit. it was an ideal trip, however, things just arent working out as we had planned. over a week behind at this point. i think god is trying to tell us something...
but we just keep plowing through the signs in our quest to make this trip happen.
at the moment we are stuck in LA with another run of bad weather and hoping to put on at least 500 miles before we head south. we currently have a total of 3 miles on the bikes. certainly starting to question the wisdom of this trip...
