I’m really excited to sleep in my hammock tonight. The stars are going to be amazing. I am feeling much better today and the ride was great. The first 40 miles were pretty much all downhill, then the climbing started … and it was brutal. Long, steepish and HOT! But that’s the same as […]
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
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
So, I’m going back in time now and writing these posts from a few days later, so I’m forgetting a lot of the details of the ride. But, since all of the days in Nevada have been the same, I’m guessing there’s not much to say about our rides. We ride over a mountain, across
Today is mail drop day! But first, the ride. Easy. 58 miles to a small little town. Pretty flat roads, a little bit of climbing and after about 1000 feet of ups, there is a sign that says Summit 7500 (or so) feet. We found that hilarious because usually summit signs come at the end
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.
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)
