Wifes turn
« on: April 20, 2014, 04:25:30 PM »
So. we all know of my escapades.   Riding mexico to canada and back,    tenesee to oregon....     all over the sierras.   to new mexico for a bowl of chile over a long weekend. etc.

well its the wifes turn.

she leaves tomarrow. and rides  a BICYCLE from San Diego. To Georga.   Yes.   across the US.      Specifically the southern Tier route.

She will start in one ocean. and end in the other.   

Here are the pictures from today. we live few min from the ocean. so they decided to ride to the water today, for the photo ops etc. and just ride home.  to get that chunk of time (pictures) out of the way. and they will depart the house tomarrow morning and head east.

I believe she will be doing a blog.  Ill link you guys as soon as I find it.

I'd have a severe case of hemorrhoids before I made it to Arizona...

We live between old hwy 80 and hwy 94, 12 miles east of Pine Valley. Pretty windy yesterday but the temp was good (74f) considering it was pretty warm (90f) easter. Hopefully she gets through that desert before it gets too hot!  God bless her!!
