began as a cycling blog - "Discovering America on 2 Wheels" - in Dec 2009. Since then it's become much more. It is an irreverent, humorous and introspective way of sharing my daily lifestyle, interests, opinions and life challenges. It is a Labor of Love that is Raw, Uncut and Real Time straight from my Heart, Mind and Life to You. So I hope you Read, Enjoy and Become Involved in My Discovery and, in so doing, learn more about Yourself, the World Around You and Your Own Path to Discovery!
Wow look how the road climbs and winds around the hills. I can see why you are so taxed. I hope you are being able to really enjoy this once in a lifetime experience you are being able to have at this time of your life.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong. These climbs are taking everything I have. I have incredibly strong thighs and I am having to grit my teeth and put everything I have into every climb.
ReplyDeleteI told you.... I am in my lowest gear doing 4.0 mph just barely turning the pedals over
The physical demands of this tour are way beyond my most pessimistic expectations.
I have simply become a Robot on a Bike.
These climbs are 40 - 70 in number a day depending on the terrain.
I've gotten to where I don't even react to them. I just put my head down and stomp on the pedals.
It is the hardest thing I have ever done.
And the most rewarding.
