Training


Yesterday I had a great training ride with two of my buddies. My brother on the left and son on the right. You can check the ride stats on the GPS graphics below. You can also navigate to Motion Based website to slice and dice this info.

I dreamed of riding cross country while I was working and followed friends journals that were able to do it. After retiring March 2007 I began planning seriously.

Thanks to the support of my wife and family, and encouragement of friends my dream is about to become reality!

The count down is on. 5 days before I fly to the West coast. I will spend a week in the Seattle area seeing the sights with my wife. 14 days before I depart San Francisco on my bicycle headed for the East coast on June 1.

I have been training since January and am ready to get started.
