Mikes bike loaded and waiting

This will be the last post from home. Mike leaves in about 12 hours, and I'll be about 20 hours behind him. We're meeting up near Sedelia, MO. From there on to KC, and up I29. Intent is to make it to Sioux Fall, SD Tuesday evening. It seems like it has taken forever to get here, and I'm ready to get going now. The first few days should be pretty boring as far as pictures go, so any updates, if there are any, will not amount to much. The bikes are packed and ready to go. Just another day in the office, and a night!

My spot tracker - http://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=40264f20b1ae6c5f5 - This will provide real time location data starting tomorrow, 5 Jun.

Mike’s spot tracker - http://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=47944fabd6a281f6f – If the two diverge, something’s not right.

My travel blog - http://www.mytb.org/Jim-W - This is where I will be posting pictures, video, and accounts of the trip when there is wireless available to upload.

Riding the ALCAN, 2012

With my wife's blessing and financial backing, I began to plan when and with who. I extended the offer to accompany me to a few close friends and co-workers. One committed, and then sold his bike (Sorry Mel, but you'll be missing a hell of a good time). Another, Mike S, jumped at the chance, and we will be doing a 6300+ mile, 21 days (or so) ride from St Louis, MO area to Alaska and back.... full info
