So, we think we have the finishing touches all done. We're packed and ready to go, and so is Harriet, of course.
This afternoon we loaded her up, just for good measure. She's a little back-heavy, but we figure that only makes her stronger. She sure knows how to get attention! We drove her around the hill fully loaded tonight, to practice, and made it about 25 feet up the hill on Saint Lawrence Street before we realized the rest of it was just not going to happen... so, we hopped off and Hope pushed from behind while I steered up front. Our neighbor said "My son and I used to ride tandem! The key is to use all your gears!" And we told him that Harriet has just the one. He agreed that we might be pushing up a lot of hills. But that's ok. We've got stories, laughter, snacks, water, and quite the soundtrack prepared. The soundtrack is called "Harriet's Adventure."
We are keeping our fingers crossed that we don't have tons of rain, but even if we do, we are prepared to roll with the punches. Because this trip is in honor of the fun and ridonkulous, and we are going to do our best to keep it that way.
We have a photo shoot at 7:15am tomorrow morning on the Eastern Promenade with Sarah, our official photographer, before we begin the journey North... where will we be going, I wonder?
