Departure

Ok, my 2012 travel blog is set as we get ready to head to Halifax Stanfield to start our adventure.  The Tour's time trial is babbling on the tv and my list of things to do is reaching an acceptable level of completion.

Some of you have followed my blogs in the past; other may be new (if you need to see the prequels, they're listed on the right).  My only rule is that I'd love it if you left me a comment so that I know you're checking it out.

Ok, gotta go cross a few more things of the list.  Next post from across the pond!

    Well, I'll start off the comments then!
    May good vibes, smooth roads, tailwinds and epic racing bless you and Rod on your bikes. Look forward to seeing some pics along the way. I do ask for one thing, bring me back a discarded pro water bottle if you can. No preference of the team, just one that I can carry in my race bag. Right now, that's enough I need for inspiration.
