Rick's bicycle ride across America

 I'm  down to three weeks before I  leave on my bicycle  adventure . Riding 40 to 60 miles 4 - 5 times a week to get Ready. Including  rides with a nice patio to enjoy a iced mocha and one that includes one of my favorite  Brewerys, Big Barn Brewery.

 Back to training rides after the Bloomsday  run on Sunday. I only did 33 miles with 2150' of climbing. I'm  down to a little over 5 weeks until I  leave. I'm  going to start riding every day. I'm  so lucky to live in a beautiful  area to ride.

 My training  continues, my rides are over 40 miles now. I plan on averaging 70 miles a day. I'm taking breaks, getting  off the bike, and just walking around a little. I'm including  lots of elevation gain, I  have to be ready to ride over all those mountain  passes. I have six weeks to go, it's  coming up fast.
