Can't predict it all..

but we should have followed our guts...

maybe...

Our plans have changed quite a bit since we first arrived in Superior, AZ. We were going to spend a day off here in little Superior and hit the road again. Unfortunately it seems funky/bad weather is following us around, and Superior sucked us in and got us waiting out the storm instead of rushing out and beating it. We would have been one step ahead of it each day we were on the road, and by today we were projected to be in New Mexico (which is seeing some storms as well, not to mention Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas - all places on our route). Hindsight is 20/20, and now even though the worst of the storm is ending we are sitting, with our face in our hands, stuck between two snow covered mountains. Not ideal. Plus the threat of having the same storm get pushed back around and give Superior a second dose and us more off days, is even more disheartening.

So instead we are going to make a jump up north - out of the storms for now. Hopefully for good. That way we will be able to ride again, as well as make up for all these days off due to weather.

Chris and I have had to adjust to things we would never have perceived, that is part of the appeal to what we are doing and where we are going. However we do have kids and even though Chris and I would LOVE to bike through the storm, and roll on our intended path - its not so practical with the babies.

SO this is how it is...

We are hopping up north to Colorado Springs (via Avis) and rerouting to Omaha and back on our original track. Omaha is where we are going to see my AWESOME brother Zach (ONE of the greatest uncles of all time). That way we can slip out of this southern storm frenzy, and most importantly get back on our bikes!!! We have had a bunch of ups and downs here in Superior, but we are hoping the wind will be at our back in Colorado Springs and the rest of our trip will be 'crazy weather' free!!!

BTW

I totally have awesome Superior Arizona hail footage, and adorable pictures of the little ones to upload so keep checking back!!!!!! In the meantime here is a picture of Soeren-Raedek having some dessert!
