Day 2

 Today was a challenging day for all of us.

We rode 50.25 miles. Almost all of those miles were uphill. We kept thinking the top would be around the next turn, but we didn't see any substantial downhill till the last 2.5 miles going into Pine Valley, after dark (long day).

We did find out that everyone's low gears worked fine, we never got a chance to check if the high gears worked (21,494 cranks for the day). 


I hope Karl takes it a little easier on us today.

    Looks like you picked the right time to start your ride. We're having high winds, heavy rain and periodic downpours here at home. Stay safe & healthy. ♥

 Day 9 Final posting day until further notice. Today we traveled from Columbus, Ohio to Sharpsburg, MD to drop off Karl, then to Brushtown, PA to drop off Gene, and finally to my home in Glen Rock.  We had lunch at the Waffle House in Hagerstown, and hand dipped ice cream for desert at Nutter's in Sharpsburg.  It is our hope that we will be able to return to El Centro in the near future and finish the ride to the Atlantic ocean.

Day 5

 Day 5 We travelled from El Centro, CA to Flagstaff, Arizona today. That would be quite an accomplishment for 3 old guys, huh? I guess we should explain. Complications have caused us to return home earlier than we had hoped. So, we rented a pickup truck in Imperial, CA yesterday, loaded the bikes and gear into the truck and are heading back to Maryland and Pennsylvania. We will still be posting pictures and experiences along the way until we reach home.  Stopped at Hugh T Osborne Lookout Park to see the sand dunes and watch a few offroad vehicles driving through the dunes. Had a very tasty Cod lunch at Times 3 Family Restaurant in Quartzsite, AZ and dinner at Chick Fil A tonight.  We drove through a snowstorm near Flagstaff, AZ.  We are hoping to finish tomorrow in Albuquerque, NM.
