'Twas the night before the big day. I've spent the last 2 or 3 months preparing for the biggest journey of my life yet.

I'll be riding my 2014 Specialized Tri Cross from Lawrence, Kansas (where I just graduated from the University of Kansas) all the way back to where I went to High School in Northern New York. 

I have always wanted to go on a "crazy" or "wild" adventure, and now is my chance. 

The plan is to venture into Kansas City and follow the Katy Trail to St. Louis. I will then loosely ride along the American Discovery Trail, until I reach Cincinnatti. From there, the Ohio to Erie Trail will lead me to northeast Ohio, until I see the mighty Lake Erie. Once I reach Buffalo, the Erie Canalway Trail will take me home.

See you tomorrow for Day 1.

Jared DaileyTo Steve Miller/GrampiesI heard that one of the biggest mistakes was bringing too much, and I figured I'd see plenty of stores along the way!

Steve Miller/GrampiesAbsolutely correct. Less is more! As you say, you can always purchase any missing items as you go.
