Go with me on my ride across the U.S.

I am riding my bicycle at least 100 miles in each of the 50 states.

Tucson, Arizona: January 6, 2010

What a great day to ride…the kind of day that reminds cyclists why they love this sport. Temps were ideal in the upper 60’s. Took a third of the time to get ready to ride! I went south of Tucson; on the way in, I drove a part of the route and saw numerous cyclists on the road. There are wide shoulder bike paths throughout the area. The only trouble is they have big cracks and it’s bump…bump… bump – all the while looking for glass or other debris in the path. Nevertheless, it was a great ride. I did a recovery ride and kept my heart rate in Zone 3 or lower and none in Zone 4 or 5…this is good. I felt real good when I got back to the motel.

The best news of the day is that this is the day it came to me (Hi, Sweetie Linda), I need to get a motorhome to do the 50-states rides. It will be so much better than doing the moteling for a lot of reasons. Plus I can live in the motorhome for awhile.

Another idea hit me…why stop at the 50 states…why not the 10 provinces in Canada. But wait, why stop there. Why not all the countries in the world…oops too far. But how about a ride on all seven continents? Okay, I’ll back up…let me get the 50 states done first!
