T-minus 20 hours and counting

Final prep is nearly done. I've received the GPS recording device, packed the panniers, and am nearly ready to go. I'm riding from Atlanta to Canton, GA tomorrow. ETD is 8:00 am so that I can arrive before the U.S. National Team starts its World Cup campaign. The route is approximately 40 miles, so I'll start with a good breakfast and then roll out.

Here is a shot of the Long Haul Trucker I'll be riding, minus most of the bags:


Tomorrow, it's gets two more bags front and rear, and a whole bunch of water bottles. Then it's off to start the adventure!
