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
