| Scarecrow and MattyRedrock |
The day has finally arrived ~ the beginning of an amazing journey for Scarecrow and MattyRedrock. It began for us all at 5:00 am on Tuesday, when the Bernath family and the Warren family packed up the cars and headed to LaGuardia airport for their flight to Canada. Although it was early, we were all very excited to see these two off on what will be an awesome journey for both of them.

We left much earlier than necessary, to make sure we were not stuck in typical New York rush hour traffic ~ our decision was a wide one, as we made it to the airport in great time and were all able to sit, enjoy breakfast and take our last minute departure shots with the travelers.

The staff of Air Canada was wonderful and extremely helpful in assisting Scarecrow and MattyRedrock with the bike check ins and flight information. We got to sit and chat, go over itineraries, checklists, and their upcoming plans, before our final goodbyes.

I have to say, although this is not Scarecrow's first time away, and certainly not his longest time away, we were just as excited and proud for him this morning sending him off. The Bernath clan handled the whole departure like champs. You would have never known this was the first sendoff ~ Corinne had all of the perfect camera angles and pics set up and ready to shoot before I could even think! It was a great morning, full of positive energy, proud family, and excited cyclists ready to conquer the Great Divide.

| Adios, amigos! |
We shall wait to see and hear about their day in Calgary, and look forward to day 1 and beyond of their Ride the Divide adventure!
Safe travels and happy trails to you both!
Until next time,
Corinne & The Thruhiker's Wife
We have our map hanging in the kitchen (can't figure out how to attach a pic yet), and our kids are so excited to track this journey! They are super excited for Uncle Matt and Ted, and are ready to learn all about the destinations that they will reach. Much love to the Bernaths and to the Warrens as you watch your husbands and fathers embark on this great adventure. We will be following along with anticipation, and all our love and support!
