Day 1 Complete!
After 7 hours, 22 miles, and 4 snickers bars, day one of the Great Transversal is complete! Some pictures from the day can be found above. More pictures and commentary to come. Also, plenty of video footage was taken, but that will be uploaded after the trek is complete. Enjoy!

A Note on Pictures and Video
As the week progresses, I will do my best to upload pictures of the day's events. My sister will also be filming the endeavor. However, all videos will be uploaded after the trek is completed because we do not have the cords that allow for video uploads to the computer. Pictures, however, will be uploaded daily, assuming I find adequate internet connections along the way. Bottom line: be patient! There will be plenty of video feed and pictures taken, but there might be a slight delay in posting them.
A Few Big Shout-Outs
I have two huge thank-you's after today:
First, to Dan Soderberg for loaning me two kayak sprayskirts for a week. For free. Not only did it save me countless hassles from bypassing the rental scene, it also gives me the privilege of using some very, very nice equipment. Dan's generosity is even more amazing when one considers that I posted my request on an on-line bulletin board and he, who had never met me, responded so quickly. A huge thank you to Dan!
Second, to Rochester Cycling and Fitness (http://cycling-fitness.com/). Specifically, to Matt and Deb, the owners. Even though there was a week-long backlog, they gave my bike a thorough tune-up on an hour's notice. For free. And they threw in a spare tube at no charge. Many thanks for their extreme generosity shown to my cause. For all of you Rochester residents, and even non-Rochester citizens, support this shop!
