Bike Ride Across The U.S.

I recently finished my first segment of my bicycle ride across the U.S. I left on June 24th departing from Anacortes Washington and finished in Muscatine Iowa on August 1. I rode 2,743 miles during those 39 days.

It was a week ago today that I rode down the driveway of my home to a well planned welcome home party. Next year I plan to finish my cross-country route from Muscatine to Bar Harbor Maine.

It was great to be back home with family and I have integrated well back into the mainstream. I hung up my bike this past week and re-acquainted myself with running.

I have three races coming up in the next two weeks and need to prepare my running legs for the change of pace. I started out slowly and after resting two days from my bike ride have ran the last four days doing 2 to 3 miles each time.
