Blood, sweat and gears.










 Day 7 on the bike had us climbing into the mountains of Tonto National Park. Hard work and lots of climbs. The bike lane disappeared on some of the most dangerous curves. Tonight we are at Punkin Center, AZ. I had a bloody nose this morning on the ride due to the dry air.

Amy’s Birthday Ride!

 We celebrated Amy’s last birthday in her 40’s by riding 58 miles. Tallahassee is behind us and we are staying in a cabin in Madison, FL. Passed a big alligator on the side of the road in our last 10 miles. Rode through Ray Charles birthplace. Planning a relaxing afternoon. Details of our Thursday 10AM finish at St Augustine beach are posted in a picture above. We will pull into the parking area by the fishing pier.  Upon arrival and we will take the finish picture at the Atlantic Ocean. If you plan to be there please let us know in the comments. Everyone in attendance will get a plaque, t-shirt or handshake.

Done!

 

Riding day 2 in the books.

 Better day today. Steep descents on our ride out of the mountains. Crazy high winds tried to blow us off the mountain. Rode through the desert with amazing tailwinds. The sun and heat are brutal. We were 50’yards from the border. Felt 100% better today. You almost can’t drink enough water here.
