Ten days to go before blast off. Been riding my arse off these past couple days, really trying to get the feel of a good, long ride. The other day did a solid 40-miler to the battlefield and back, and it wasn't so bad. In fact it was gorgeous. Did it in just about 4 hours, and wasn't all that sore the next day. However, anticipating an average of 60 miles a day for the trip. But hell, I got all day-- plenty of roadside naps...
Biking by the track yesterday I managed to find myself a lone earing without its back that made a lively hissing sound as it deflated my rear tube. A bit if a bummer, but good practice nonetheless to prove to myself I can change a tire on the go.
Sad to say goodbye to my housemates this weekend, (love you guys) so it's just me from here on out. An empty house full of anticipation. -- stay tuned
Route Map
This is pretty much the route, just imagine starting a little bit south of Ticonderoga and going a bit South after Anacortes. Thanks to the good people at the Adventure Cycling Association, they know what they're doing.
