DAY 1?
Well, technically the kick off was the 2nd of June at the Outback Steak House fund-raiser but Austin and Tom didn't do their first large ride until today. We started the day at a cycling race for parkinsons right outside of Atlanta. The announcers presented Austin and Tom to the crowd and explained a bit about the Rally Across America. The boys took a "glory lap" with some of the local children who race and then left from the event to ride around 50 miles to Athens, Georgia. We went ahead of them to get situated with a place to stay and to meet up with Austin's family. His little brother Reid (16) went along for the 50 mile ride and they met us at the house we are staying at in Athens. Tonight we re-group so that we can be efficiant along the way these first few weeks and talk about how to properly go about taking this epic journey.
The film crew has decided to keep any on-lookers updated with video updates through the Rally Webpage (above). Keep your eye out for some of those short video updates.
Lastly for tonight, before I take the extra bicycle back the few miles to the house we are all staying at (I'm at a little coffee house using their internet in Athens), we have decided to try to get a teaser or trailor together so that those of you that we have asked to contribute and all others interested can get a better idea of what we're doing out here and why it's important. That should be posted at the Veritaz webpage (and maybe here) within the next few days.
We could be closer than you know,
