ohoh


I made a huge miscalculation. I don't know where I heard that we would ride 60 miles each
day. I must have been thinking of the self supported trip that takes 3 months.

Had I considered how far in the time we had I would know differently and now I do.
The shocker is that out of all those days (48 total ride days) 16 of them require us to ride over 70 miles a day and there are
some 80-90-100 milers......OMG! We will have 8 no ride days and I still have my drive days
to rest up on.......I'm nervous about it but I still move forward


Get it together and ride ride ride, work out and eat right

dreaming of riding cross country

This Feb I will be 60 years old. I wanted to celebrate it with an unforgettable
experience. As MJ would say "This is it"

After 30 years of considering a long cycling trip, I signed up for a 2 month tour starting Mar 4 in San Diego and
arriving in St Augustine, Florida on April 30.

This is a women's tour with most of us being 50-60 years old. I will go as a Sag Driver and be able to ride 3 days and drive 1 day.....so I have a built
in rest schedule. We ride 60 miles a day 6 days a week with 1 day off each week. It looks like I will have an extra day not riding each week and that is just fine with me, plus I received
a 40% discount by working part time.
