On Thursday morning we hoped to get going early; yet, the warm sleeping bag felt way too comfy. Eventually we crawled out of the tent, made some Joe, packed up, and had breakfast. As we roll up our tent, our German-neighbor-campers came over to chat. The two live on Tenerife, however, they shipped their campervan from Germany to travel the USA for a year. They have
Although Jekyll Island was not a planned stop, we are very pleased that we did. After 5 long days of riding, we took a rest day and took full advantage of it by relaxing and sightseeing this beautiful island. Jekyll Island has some very interesting history, so if you ever get a chance to visit, do it!
After a late morning start, getting our webpage fixed, eating some gigantic Belgium waffles, and riding against headwind all day we have arrived at Jekyll Island!
This morning we woke up to raindrops drumming on our tent. Needless to say, we took our time to crawl out of our bags until the drumming calmed down. Sam and Bobbi decided they were going to head back home this morning and started packing their camp.

Here we are, a month to go before rolling out of the garage and into the world. Â We have written multiple lists on what to get done, clothes and rain gear we need, extra bike parts to take, camping gear to pack, and what ever else we thought are essential things to take on a world tour. Â We have checked and rechecked our packing list and are ready to practice packing our bikes. Â As we spread all of our gear, clothes, and spare parts out in the room, we are starting to have some doubts whether it is all going to fit into our panniers.

This is our first attempt with creating a "How to …" type video and believe it or not, creating a video like this is a little harder to do than you might expect. The ending is a little out of focus and unfortunately we did not realize this until the editing started.
So please watch and find out How to modify your wheel to accept both Schrader and Presta Valves. We hope you find this helpful.
