It's starting to look bright!

8 weeks to go! There's still tons of thing to do but we're slowly getting there. Flights, bikes, clothes, sleeping bags, tent and computer are now all covered and that's a big relief! Yesterday we got brand new camelbaks, lights, a tinderbox and a lunch box so we have something to eat our beans from :D 

Spring is finally here and the increasing amount of light makes it so easy to keep the spirit up! No more hockey for Pippu though but the outdoor cycling season is just about to start!

Enjoy your spring! We're off to meet with Unicef this morning :)

Oh man... all is good!

UGH... Sorry again for not updating frequently. We have been super busy with EVERYTHING. And you know, when one thing goes wrong everything goes wrong :D

We had a holiday week when Pippu enjoyed her time in Japan and Laura was selling cupcakes on the International Restaurant day for school project.

That day was super fun and if you have never done it, you should. Next time it is organized 18 May 2013, check out www.restaurantday.org for more info. But basically the thing is that EVERYONE can set up their own restaurant for the day. Kind of fun thing to create a theme and to think what to sell and where.. :D

After that day Laura just had to concentrate on trying to find sponsors and to do school stuff. She was kind of silly for taking 6 extra courses for this spring while we are studying hard anyways and trying to organize this summer. But she managed to do a lot of things before her computer lost a whole folder full of files, O ou!!! Well no harm done, just tons of stress factors more...

After that problem was solved, Pippu came back to Finland and it was time for her computer to brake down... This was a bit bigger issue but thankfully she got another computer to borrow but yet again some more things to stress about...

International women´s day cheered us up... Marmot send us a BIG surprise!!!

We got camping gear and some clothes to wear, AWESOME!!! That sleeping bag is so incredibly soft and light and so is the tent, LOVING IT!!! :D

GoExpo 2013

So after receiving that package we decided to change clothes and head to GoExpo to do some promoting and ask if some of the good bike companies would be interested of joining our crazy cycling experience, and YES, I think we managed to do a quite good work there :D We will find out tonight!!!

So after ALL huge disappointments, yet again we are back in the game with a HUGE amount of energy, ready to start cycling... Oh yes, we bought flight tickets finally. So we will start our journey from San Francisco 22 May 2013 and flying back to Finland 18 Aug 2013... 

Cycling Route 

If you happen to be around somewhere along our route, just come meet us, cycle with us or offer a place to sleep (even though we love that tent, we know we will miss bed as well)... :-D

Alright, keep you flag high and stay tuned... Now off to school!!
