Leaving the Cape

Hello friends and family, I'm not the greatest writer but
for the first time my life l feel the need to make some
journal entries” willingly‘ My aim is to document my ad-
ventures for the next two-ish months so i can reference
this later, and so those of you who are interested can see
what I'm up to in my travels. This might be boring (I hope
it‘s entertaining), it might get personal, but it will definitely
be real. I'm already enjoying my trip, and I hope you
enjoy it too as we make our way across this magnificent
country, and a small piece of Canada ehhh.

I've spent almost a full yearthinking about traveling
across country on a motorcycle and part of me never
thought the day would actually come. The day is finally
here! The soft start to my cross country adventure has
arrived and I've left cape cod. I am sad to leave the cape
but thrilled to start this journey‘ I'm currently 25 hours
(135 miles) away from Eastham, MA in Hampton, CT at
my parent's house The start of the ride had me on edge
as the bike was fully loaded for the first time. I actually
had some extra clothes and a few tools that I won't be
bringing with me on the trip that I neglected to bring to
my brother‘s house for storage a few days prior‘ I leave
that extra baggage here with my parents so that my bike
is unencumbered, I am looking forward to settling in to
my setup and finding a place for everything on the bike.

l only got to spend a few hours with my parents tonight,
but it was great to see them before this journey which

I hope will be epic. I'll miss them even though the
frequency of our visits will probably not change, ljust had
a shower and am sleeping in a king sized bed tonight.
Probablythe most comfortable I'll be in the next two
months. If I weren't so excited I'd probably sleep like a
rock, Tomorrow I head to the Boston area to visit friends
and family. I can hardly wait!Read more
