Hi my friends,
Here’s what’s coming for me on my bicycle this summer!
I’m ramping up, training for this year’s bike adventures, during which you’ll be hearing from me regularly. My “reports” will come to your inbox—no need to sign up again.
Adventure #1: Northfield, MN to Cheyenne Wyoming
I will leave Northfield on June 24—I am determined to get to my 60th high school reunion (August 5 & 6th) under my own bicycle power! Bob has offered to be SAG, which is a huge and generous gift; he will support my ride with water, food, finding lodging, and being along the route if I need help.
Adventure #2: “Tour de Wyoming”
When I arrive in Wyoming, I will join niece Elizabeth Williams for the “Tour de Wyoming,” the state bicycle ride July 17—22. This year’s ride is a loop through the Big Horn Mountains: 355 miles in 6 days, with a jaw-dropping elevation map. There are 350 riders on that, who have gotten in via lottery.
Current Preparations
Much is on the docket. Last week Bob and I rode our own three day MN bike ride from our condominium to sections of the Sakatah Bike Trail for a 129 mile loop. We rode about forty miles each day, some rain, some weariness, and a good time. Such a privilege to get to ride. |
