Today was a short mileage day…. but a lot of elevation. Okay, not so much elevation, but a lot considering that we are coming off of some very difficult days all in a row. We’ve been through the desert, up and down mountains, and in the middle of nowhere, but it’s been great – really. […]
94 freaking miles. This is the sixth day in a row of riding and it feels like it. Another day of nearly 6000 feet of elevation gains but so beautiful and so worth it. A few highs: We rode Hog’s Back right out of the gate. This is a road with a cliff on
Today Was Horrible! For me…. the team is doing really well and people are helping each other out, which is really good to see. Today consisted of a mostly slow and steady climb to the top of a mountain. Starting at a little under 4000 feet elevation, we climbed to 9600 before dropping down
We woke up in Hite Recreation Area this morning…. Probably the best night of sleep so far! There’s not much to Hite, but I slept in my tent, under the stars and it was lovely. A nice warm breeze through out the night made for some “baller” sleeping. The ride itself to Caineville was not
Today was all sorts of things…. Started out pretty well but we knew it was going to be a special day…. why? Because we had a 76 mile bike ride with no services. No houses, no stores and mostly, no people. We had three rules today: Don’t leave late (to keep our group together)
Look at us in Utah! Today sucked but was awesome. It’s Olivia’s birthday! So, of course, at rest stop two we found ourselves at a bar and I bought my group a round of shots. The shot was a creamy fireball: cream soda, fireball and whipped cream.. delicious! The bar itself was pretty
Well….. it’s day two of riding and I’m already one day behind in my blogging. So let’s jump back in time. Day 43 was awesome! I rode with the fast ones for most of the day and they “pulled” my ass for most of it. Not a bad ride, a little bit of climbing
Well, I’m back on the Trans Am with Bike the US for MS. Tomorrow is my first day of riding with the team, 60 miles to Dolores. Feels weird to come back on a rest day, but I managed to fill it with some fun. Got my bike back from the shop with a
This morning I am sad. It’s my last morning with the team and I had to say goodbye to my TransAm family. This trip has been absolutely amazing. The people I’ve been riding with are wonderful, kind and supportive. We’ve had some really tough rides but we’ve helped each other through them. Ernie told me
