I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. *That* was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get *that* day over, and over, and over... -Bill Murray Groundhog Day Kansas is unbelievably uniform. Most of the highways we've…
Ok, 75 miles today. My legs hurt. Adjust, get comfortable. How far is the first town? OK, I'll ride twenty then eat something. I hope the wind doesn't pick up. There's the mile marker sign. Don't look at it. Don't look at the bike computer. Find a good song. I need to take more pictures.…
First off, thanks to everyone who comes to the blog and reads what I have to say about our bicycle extravaganza. Second, there is no fucking way we're quitting!! Unless one if us gets hit by a car, falls deathly ill, or we get snowed in until spring, we are DOING IT! So why in…
I never would have thought that the plains would be this discouraging. I guess we always assumed that it would be cold weather or mountains, but riding into the wind is the worst possible scenario, and it looks like it could be like this for a couple weeks straight. Not to mention, it just going…

When you go into a two motel town, do not ask the lady at the nicer of the two if she's cheaper than the other one. Offended. Well, I'm on a budget lady. But before that, we came down from wolf creek pass and decided the wallets called for some camping, and we do not…
10,500 ft.......did it.
The grudge match between us and the Rockies was postponed one day due to nothing more than the fact that we're tired. The hot springs here in Pagosa Springs Colorado supposedly has some magic minerals, so we gave it a shot on the healing front. On a side note, when we bought some bike supplies…
Colorado is like a damn dream compared to the places we've ridden through the past couple of days. Don't get me wrong, I love the barren and striking landscapes of northern Arizona and New Mexico, but as soon as you cross the border in Colorado everything changes. Mountains, yellow leaves, small country roads, and cool…
WE'RE REALLY DOING IT
