Day 11: Damascus, VA to Breaks, VA - 80 miles

Woke up at the break of dawn and started rolling. Today was a harder day with 5 tricky climbs.  Probably my hardest day riding ever, let alone touring. But, we were able to keep rolling and reached the top. I spent some time looking at the majesty that we just rolled over to get there. Breaks Interstate Park is known as "The Grand Canyon of the East". I feel like alot of places call itself it's own version of the Grand Canyon. Just like some colleges call themselves the "Yale of the <Insert geographical region>". Breaks... be your own park, don't feel the need to conform to those other geological features. I was able to snag some Wi-fi so I could Skype call MB (AT&T reception in the mountains was bad), then we rode down the hill a bit to stay in a motel for the night. 570 miles through Virginia, Kentucky began tomorrow.

Day 53: Jackson, WY, over Teton Pass, to Swan Valley, ID (50 miles)

Image
May, Sometime in 2007 - I was going on one of my first rides after buying Trixie with my then roommate Tim, my now roommate Jim, and my friend Gwen. We did a ride to Mt. Horeb, which is what I'd classify at "Wisconsin Climbing"... not too steep, but the occasional climb or so mixed in with some flats. Coming back from Mt. Horeb, right after one of the little climbs right after the Riley Tavern, I felt weak and tried to slow down to take a break. Not understanding my toe clip pedals, and some combination of exhaustion and being out of shape, I just kind of fell over. Everyone kinda got a laugh, I drank some water and everything was a bit better. This was the first time I remember getting beat up on a climb, but I've tried since to avoid the repeat process. Flash Forward to this Monday: We woke up and had another pleasant morning of conversation and coffee at Molly's place. Molly is a saint for taking in Jon and me and letting us crash for 4 days. At the end of th...

Day 27: Pittsburg, KS to Fredonia, KS (71 miles), Day 28: Fredonia, KS to Wichita, KS (90 miles), Day 29 & 30: Rest Days

And so began Kansas. We were pretty lucky to have a tailwind through most of our first day in Kansas. We hopped off the TransAm route to go south to Fredonia and eventually to Wichita. Once we hit Fredonia, Jon met up with his girlfriend Tia while Dustin and I set up camp in the town park. While we were in the town park, we began hearing a cell phone ring somewhere in the park. Picking it up, we were able to let the woman know that her daughter's cell phone was somewhere in the park and that she could pick it up from us. This park was pretty awesome; it had all the dangerous things that most parks don't have anymore including 9 foot tall, metal slide. Something that looked like a combination of chains and tetherball The best tilt-a-whirl with sharp metal edges After Dustin took a try at the tilt-a-whirl, he encouraged me to give it a go as well. And so I began spinning, and spinning, and spinning. Not being one much for keeping my equilibrium, upon getting off the tilt-a-w...

Day 40: Dillon to Hot Sulphur Springs (61 miles)

We woke up this morning, and had a slow start with a tasty McDonald's breakfast and then some conversation at the gas station with Chris, who was riding from Eugene east to Denver. He gave us some pointers on the rest of the route. From there, we had an easy downhill, tailwind day around the Green Mountain dam. It was simply gorgeous. We headed east to head back north again, but by doing so, we got to ride through a canyon while an Amtrak train was going through. I could only pull over and watch. I came to the library and furiously updated my blog, and now might go eat something or sit in the hot springs. A great day after a rest day :)
