Penguins Bike

Thank you for coming to our going away party. The sun showed up in full heat and yet you still ventured out to send us off. We felt the love and warm wishes of adventure and safety.

For those of you who couldn’t make it or are far away, let's bring the party to you.

We had a bike and gear weight guess with closest guess to be awarded either a free bike tune up or cake! (When we get back.)

David's gear - 40.4 lb

David's Mesarunner bike - 38.4 lb

Sarah's gear - 41.4 lb

Sarah's ‘Frankie’ bike - 34.0 lb

Grand totaling to 154.2 lb!

Kelly wins with a guess of 160 lb! We had quite the range of guesses from 50 lb to 297 lb. We appreciated everyone who followed their heart, even if it was way off. We assume your heart is useful in other contexts.

As an aside, I wanted to celebrate my birthday early so david made a decadent lemon blueberry Bundt cake that got devoured onsite, mere hours after leaving the oven.

Thank you for helping us name our penguin mascot. His official name is now Gabriel Penguin Spirit or GPS! Close seconds were picture below. We appreciate, but politely decline, Ellie and Eric’s offers to legally adopt.

Thanks for showing us off! We will take your good penguin spirit with us.

We will post about our final departure moment soon!

Hi! We are Sarah and David and we're about to go on a big bike trip. This summer, we are going to bike the Mediterranean from Valencia, Spain to Athens, Greece for Sarah's birthday! We're going to post pictures and updates here for our friends.

We're getting our bikes ready the next few weeks!
