Looks like we're pushing on. A return to Tempe would require riding the same (the only) route as yesterday. I will nevereverever be on that road again.
For the record, we travelled 80 miles and climbed 4,000 plus feet.
Tomorrow it's a push to Safford, another 80 miles, thru the San Carlos Apache Reservation. We should have quieter roadway.
Take one tandem. Add a single. In our world, that equals a self-supported, 3200-mile bike ride from San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL. Share the joys and the pain of our journey.
About Us
- Karen, David & Bill
- Based in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, we three are longtime single cycle riders. After early retirement, Karen and David bought a jumbo-sized Cannondale tandem. It's white (very), trimmed in red. We call it the Pillsbury Doughboy. We were joined by Bill, an old friend, on his 14-year old single Cannondale and made the call that started this adventure. He's supposedly retired but continues to find real work when he chooses.We planned to pedal self-supported across the U.S. in Spring 2011 from San Diego CA to St. Augustine FL. In beginning this adventure we agreed philosophically with Jean-Jacques Rousseau: "The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences."
We are thinking of you Bill! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
