Calaveras Training Ride

Calaveras Reservoir

Left the kids at Camp Milagros this morning and headed out on my longest training ride of the year, a 73-miler. I'm sitting in Evergreen Village right now, an East San Jose oasis you'd never guess was here if you didn't drive through it. Today's ride has some similarities to many of my BikeTheCoast13 daily rides and I'm reminded that as exited as I am, most days will still be a grind. 73 miles doesn't happen without a lot of work.

Second half of today's ride is gonna be toasty.

Last refuel at Bailey Road fruit stand after coming down Metcalf (glad I wasn't going up). 20 miles left.

On August 14, 2013, I'm flying to Vancouver, British Columbia and beginning a 29-day, 1,880-mile bike ride from Canada to Mexico.

On this page you'll find random ramblings before, during, and after my trek down the Pacific Coast. Prior to BikeTheCoast13, I'll blog about my prep, training, and thoughts from the road.
While visiting my blog, I hope you'll offer comments, suggests, and words of encouragement. I'm going to need all the help I can get!

For those who don't know me or my inspiration, please take a moment to check out the Why Now? tab to meet my daughter Lindsey and find out how I got here.

If this site helps or inspires you in any way, I hope you'll consider making a small donation to the cause.

If you'd like to contact me personally, you can email me at [email protected]
