Updated In The Comments - New Pictures Up!

Hi Everyone -

Apologies for the lack of blog updating. We arrived in Portland about a week ago and were very excited for Missy and Jason’s wedding. That happened over the weekend and could not have been a better time. The night we arrived in Portland was a tough one though. After meeting Jason and Missy’s friends and family, I headed to the airport to pick up Caitlin. We’re both healthy, fine, and alright. On our way back, I crashed the bike. The bike is totaled…the accident was my fault…and we couldn’t be luckier. More details on the way in the next few days as well as a ton of blog posts to catch up the story of the trip. Crashing was definitely not in the plan, but everything that happened from the moment the bike went down… fell our way. Just couldn’t have been luckier. Thanks again for all your support.

The basic plan is for me to move to Portland now, rather than one month from now. Brendan is planning on heading down the coast to see family in San Francisco, fly home for a wedding and drive back out here in a moving truck.

The pictures make it look like a bunch of cosmetic damage. My guess is wheel and frame damage with the last straw…the engine crankcase.
