We have talked via Skype many times, but for the very first time today, all six riders were together – in the same location (Doug, Brad, Steve, Gary, David, & Gerald*).
The occasion was a film shoot for promotional materials that will be used while promoting the trip. It was a great time. We laughed, talked bikes and accessories, shared a meal and spent several hours planning and discussing logistics.
There is much to consider and prepare for. Overall it was a great day. We quickly recognized what an awesome group had assembled for this adventure. It was like a reunion of old friends, even though some of us had actually never met in person before.
*Until the trip is complete and in the interest of safety we are only publishing first names.
