Nearly there!!
With only a few days to go till flights on monday moning, everything is starting to come together with only a few minor hicups:
Expedia managed to get our internal flight wrong, and instead of booking from Tampa, FL to Seattle in Washington state they have booked to Washington DC, about 3000 miles from where we need to be. still waiting to hear back from them if they've managed to sort it.
Ordered two 32GB SD cards from ebay for the GoPro cameras, but only 1 of the cards works.
Satnav was delivered when no one was in so deleviry company sent it back to the shop for a refund :S, so got to re-order that.
Good points:
Last day of work so not too stressfull and eaten lots of cakes!
Kerswell Jam this weekend so looking forward to a gd sesh there on Saturday!
Hopefully sorting hockey bags today so we can fly with our bikes for $25 a time as 'sports equipment' rather than the $100 it costs if they know its a bike.
New bike parts have arived, Spank Tweet Tweet bars, blue for me, black for Lex. Red stem and seatclamp for Lex, White vanilla cented 'TugJob' grips :)
Bought Extreme sports (stunt BMX) travel insurance, all confirmed and documents printed.
Dates of stay confirmed with Woodward West.
only 93hours till take off!!!
will try and get some pics and vid up in the first few days to liven up the page a bit!

Bloody hell, less than two weeks to go now! Still gota sort out car stuff/insurance, Woodward and getting to whistler - what a headache.
Anyways, looks like just me and Jamie going out for the first half, meeting Nikki (friend + photog) in NYC and hopefully other palces!! Also riding with the legendary Joe Prisel in Cleveland and at Ray's MTB park :)
Can't wait to get to Baltimore to stay with Jenn and her fella! should be a good one!
If anyone knows people with a place to stay/garden to camp in along our route and would be ok with two (probably hungover) bikers staying, get in touch! We're on a budget peoples!
Going to bath this weekend to play Volleyball of all sports, should be good tho!
Peace.

Getting Closer!
Ok, we've been sitting in front of our laptops for hours now! Golf is on the TV and we've not even noticed. Stuff we've just done:
- Ordered 2 x GoPro cameras (with bike/helmet attachmens) and spare batteries and 32GB SD Cards
- Ate too many Custard Creams
- Ordered a TomTom
- Found loads of clubs and bars in Cleveland and Toronto
- Ate more Custard Creams
- Ate more Custard Creams
- I hate Custard Creams
- Gunna be sick......
Also we have brought our coach tickets to and from the airport (Gatwick) and got a HSBC advance joint account so we can pay for stuff and withdraw monies without getting charges (they also gave me a $5000 credit card! wtf? Vegas here i come :) )
It will be two weeks tomorrow when we fly out, excitment is building!
I think we'll put picks up of our final days here and bike packing - which will be interesting.
Oh and if you're reading this - please spam this blog about like there's no tomorrow, we need da hits yeh! you get me blud!?
WESTWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! BOOOM!
