Support Team Krusti! ------->

Cycle touring is expensive! Way more than you think it would be. It turns out our plan to fill a pannier with Kashi and use it as a feedbag didn't work out since after you've been cycling all day all willpower where food is concerned goes completely out the window. And don't get me started on beer prices in Canada (cheapest 6-pack? TEN DOLLARS! 12 pack of Bud Light (not that I would drink that anyway) TWENTY-FIVE! Plus 20% tax. Crazy.) And food in the middle of nowhere in Alaska is not only sparse but incredibly pricey.

Which brings me to my next point. Now that we're back in civilization it's been easier to keep to our budget, but Alaska and Canada took a big bite out of what we had to begin with. Several people along the way have been more than kind enough to buy us a meal or a beer, or let us stay the night in their house. We thought we'd like to extend the opportunity to support Team Krusti to our, albeit small, online community.

I'll break it down for anyone interested:

A luxurious breakfast consisting of more than instant oatmeal: $25

A meal at a restaurant with hot food we didn't have to prepare over our camp stove: $35

A couple of celebratory brewskies, or a taster tray at a wonderful brewery: $10

As you can see, we don't spend much, but it does add up over time, and there's always those unexpected expenses, like the $100 we spent on new tires for Rusti's steed, or $40 for replacement chains after the first 3000 miles, or $35 for new kicks when the old ones wear out.

In sum, we have had a wonderful time on this trip, being inspired and bestowing inspiration, and we'd like to keep it up. If you would like to see us continue our trip, feel free to add a little (and I mean .50 cents to $50) to the pot by clicking on the paypal button. It will take you to a very easy to use and secure paypal site and all the money goes directly to us and then toward our shrinking waistlines.

 Thank you, thank you, and above all, Thank You!!!!!
