So many miles to ride before my trip
I rode 38.5 miles with 1400 ft of climbing yesterday. When I got home my thighs were screaming. I have to start riding more miles every week to be ready
My route across the country is set
Well training for the ride is going very slow. Ski season is over so I can concentrate on getting ready for the ride. I have 2 months before I roll out. I have mapped out my route, if I have figured it right I'll be riding 3860 miles. I start in LaPush, Wa on June 18th and ride the Olympic Discovery Trail to Port Townsend, Wa. I'll take the Whidbey Island ferry and ride to Anacortes. Then get on Highway 20 that I will follow to Newport, Wa. Making my way to Sandpoint, Id, Clark Fork, Id, Libby, Mt then to Whitefish, Mt. I hope to ride through Glacier National Park if they have the Going to the Sun Road open. I'm headed south from East Glacier and going to West Yellowstone. I'll be exiting Yellowstone at the East entrance. I'll be crossing Wyoming going through Cody, Basin, Buffalo, Gillette, Devils Tower, then in to South Dakota. I'll pass through Spearfish, Rapid City, Wall, Midland, Chamberlain, Springfield, Vermillion, Jefferson, then Iowa is next. I hope ...
