NY arrival!

So the trip has begun we've got to new york all safe and sound bikes in tact and everything in order. Found some time to have a look round the city to get our bearings to : ) Both looking forward to getting out on the bikes and on our way.

Saw an INDOOR ferris wheel and a huge toy dinosaur.. I mean HUGE in the the toys r'us in times square,0 chilled out in starbucks and had a peeky at the UN centre then got absolutely soaked running through central park back to the hostel. Getting some grub then an early night as we're both totally shattered.

The Route

Good Evening Ya'll ;)

This is a map of the route we are planning to take, click on "View Larger Map" to see it (takes a few seconds to load the detailed route).

Less than a week until we fly to New York now, we are staying there until the 5th of July so we enjoy the 4th July celebrations! 

We are both well prepared for the trip now & very excited! Have packed everything i think i could need including plenty of tea bags, a pack of cards and a learn german book that is set to annoy Keir!

Planning to keep this blog updated with a few photos and info.

Cheers, Jon
