Time to leave Virginia!!! This is about 3 miles from the campground, and then I kept riding to see this sign…. Much better! Then, a few miles down the road, the river overlook area. I love opportunities like this. Stopping to see some beautiful parts of the country. In case you didn’t catch it, we […]
Leaving this beautiful church and heading to Breaks Interstate Park tonight for some camping. Only 44 miles, so we know something is up. A huge climb, that’s what’s up. This guy is the 8th great grandfather of one of our route leaders. Pretty cool. I’m writing this a day late so I’m not remembering a
Back to back 80s, what??? Today I wore my USAF jersey since we had a hella hill to climb. After the wind from yesterday, today felt like a breeeeeeeeze.

Today was the HARDEST DAY EVER We had to bike 80 miles into a head wind. You’d think all those days of riding the flight line would prepare me…. nope! Our day started with breakfast sadwiches made by our boss. Pretty awesome way to start the day. Doesn’t happen every day, but when it does,

Today was the day I’ve been dreading. The day we ride into the mountains. So far the toughest day of the trip. But, now that it’s done I can say that I feel confident about my cycling skills. We had some craaaaaaaaazy climbs today and the descent was the steepest part of the entire TransAmerica
My dang Garmin messed up and would import all of my information today. It says 56 miles but doesn’t have all my elevation and stats. I hate when that happens! Today was another good day. Thunderstorms were threatening again so my group got an early start. I had the pleasure of riding with several groups
Feeling great! Woke up in the church after not a great night of sleep but that was to be expected. 80 mile day is in store!! Boiled a pot of water for coffee and oatmeal and got the day started right. Stopped for a second breakfast at Panera around mile 20 and then two lunches
