Crazy Idea Number One

Last summer when Chris and I were biking down the Pacific Coast (http://blood-sweat-and-gears.blogspot.com) we talked about how cool it would be to do a cross-country bike ride for Barack Obama with rallies all along the way. However at the time we didn't know who was going to secure the nomination, and we didn't know what our plans would be either. Well, Chris is getting married September 13th and I, oh wait, have no plans! So I'm starting to look into the idea again. Why volunteer for him in an office when I could be working for him on my bike? Chris and I have begun talking, planning and trying to work any connections we have. The current plan is to start riding the beginning of September in Oregon, ride through the heartland hitting up key swing states like Colorado, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and ending in D.C. on Tuesday, November 4th. It would be ideal if we could get hooked up directly with the campaign so that we could coordinate rallies and such with them. (Also, wouldn't it be amazing to have an Obama cycling jersey?!) Unfortunately, I'm leaving today for Asia for a month, so plans will kind of be on hold. If anyone happens to find this blog entry and wants to do and/of help with this ride, leave me a comment, please. Si se puede!
