Eric's big-ass ride

I'm leaving Anchorage tomorrow morning and flying down to Oregon for my friend Garry's wedding which conveniently doesn't happen until over a week later. In the meantime I'll be meeting up with my dad in Redmond and biking with him on the last few days of his cross-country ride. I kind of feel like its poor form to show up at the end of this epic journey as they cruise towards the coast, but that is outweighed by the fact that it sounds pretty cool to me that after crossing the Cascades on my first day we'll be on flats or downhills for virtually all of the remaining 175 miles or so. Also, I plan to be on hand as a photographer for all the riders once they reach the ocean, so that has to carry some value.

Anyway, it might not be too much of a ride compared to my dad's trek, but I've been looking forward to this trip for awhile and can't wait to get started.
