Our Epic Bike Adventure

 This beautiful new ride created by the iconic Georgena Terry is ready to ride.  Recently added rain fenders and a cargo rack.  Have clocked about 200 miles so far and loving the gear ratio.  Hoping I will be feeling the love once we meet up with the Cascades and Rockies.  Training continues..........

Well...planning has come full circle.  At first the plan was to acquire an enclosed cargo trailer to haul our belongings but thanks to complicated German engineering it was outrageously expensive to wire the car to pull the trailer.  So a quick farewell was paid to "Binny" our brief but loyal buddy.  

Years ago I fantasized about hopping on a bicycle and heading across the country. I imagined riding into a small town, meeting some of the locals, sitting in a coffee shop and enjoying the freedom of bike travel. Family, work, and other responsibilities interceded........until NOW!  Retirement has brought about the time needed, a willing spouse has given me encouragement and companionship in the planning, and crazy friends and family have agreed to accompany me along the journey. If this retired body is willing and able, we shall dip our rear treads in the Pacific in Florence, Oregon and pedal until the front tire meets the Atlantic in Washington DC.  An Epic Adventure awaits!
