Cold day equals late start.





















 The temperature was 48 when we woke up. Had a few challenges to start the day, so we opted for a great breakfast first. Walked our bike through an empty wash where the bridge was out. Saw pecan groves and flat coyotes. Finished the day in Las Cruces, NM.

  1. I thought a lot of other people were on this ride. Do you ever see any of them?

  2. Sherry- We are not on a group ride. It’s the three of us and Pam’s dog. The group rides across the US are still on hold because of COVID. This ride is funded solely by my children’s inheritance. Because I took early retirement March 31st it was possible to do this trip. Much later in the year and it would have been too hot for the ride. Doing this type of trip comes down to time and resources. We are really fortunate that everything fell into place to do it. Thanks for asking and keeping up with us.

  3. Oh wow!! I had no idea! Even more of an undertaking! No wonder it looks so lonely out there. I kept waiting for other bikers to show up. I think I'll pray a little more often for all of you...Finn included! :)

  4. Love the different kinds of landscape, each has beauty of its own. I swear the sky is bluer where you are! Maybe it’s just because we’re coming out of our gray winter skies LOL

Tomorrow we finish and lose our super human metabolism.

  We had two great trails to ride on today. What a treat to get off the busy highways. It has been quite the odyssey to get here. Amy is a rock. Pam has been the most amazing blessing to us. She has served us better than we deserve. When you get up early everyday and ride lots of miles, you are grouchy. She has been our logistics expert. I have had two ladies and a dog put up with my crap for 7 weeks. I am humbled and undeserving. Thanks to Amy for the tireless planning and riding. Almost home!

In Gulf Shores, AL tonight.

 It took about 30 minutes to exit Mississippi this morning. We dodged the rain until our last 30 minutes of the ride today. Made the 9:30am ferry across Mobile Bay. It costs $12 to take a tandem bike across in case you need to know that some time. The ferry saves us close to 70 miles. Lots of damage still in the gulf shore beach area. Rode a nice bike trail for several miles. Contemplating a trip to Lambert’s for dinner and a visit to Buccee’s.

In Gainesville. Two days left.
