May Already

May Day is tomorrow.  My last post was earlier this month; time really does fly.  In April our count down timer went past the 100 day and 3 month (ninety day) mark.  I met my cycling goal but it was a mere 200 miles.  I got our tandem and my single bike serviced at R&E cycle and both are in great working order.  Great weather is predicted this weekend and next so it's time to ride.

A friend from work put me on to Tyler Metcalfe who quite his job as a National Geographic Photographer to ride solo across the country.  Info about his ride can be found here. His route is the TransAmerica Bike Trail.  Adventure Cycling established the route in 1976.  Our route is AC's most northern route from Anacortes, WA (we're actually starting at Deception Pass State Park) to Bar Harbor, ME.

So I've got to stop typing and start riding while the sun is out.

Training Ride - Yuma, Arizona


Rented Mt. Bikes in Yuma. Rode along the canals today and Carol's foot felt real good. Rode among the date palms and stopped in at Martha's Garden for a date shake. Oh and by the way, we rented the bikes at Mr. B's.  Did to know that Charlie had a bike shop in Yuma!  :)
