Tapering

As I get closer to d-day, I'm getting more nervous about this bike tour thingy. Common sense tells me I've done enough training and that I have more than enough base miles built up over the last 25 years. I still keep wondering how my mental and physical well being will keep up over the 30 days.

Instead of spending my last 'free' weekend riding all the time, I decided to go to Bend with friend Ian and his family. Lots of kids time, workiong on my tan lines and a bit of cycling....

Ian and I rode up to Mt Bachelor on Saturday. After the 40 mile an hour descent back into town, we stopped off at the Deschutes brewery for the perfect recovery drink.

d-day minus 9

Getting both nervous and excited about this. 31 days and 3400 miles from Oregon to Georgia by bicycle sounded like a great idea when I signed up last year. Now I'm beginning to realize the enormity of this undertaking.... Oh well...
