Guess what? More of the same today! Long roads, and hills… but not too much today, for it was just a 58 mile day. Which is practically a rest day. Ely is actually a good sized town, but we are staying on the outskirts of town tonight, at the Ely KOA. I learned that […]
I’m not gonna lie, I’m a pretty strong rider. I’ve loved every second of riding since I started back in 2014 to train for my first Bike MS: Waves to Wine ride for my Aunt Alba. I’m usually not one to stick with a training plan or keep myself motivated to do things for long
