Tales of my attempt to cycle coast to coast. Saturday, 9 May 2009. Day 21 Springfield Rest Day (24 miles). Well I can't say I'll be rushing back to Springfield Illinois. It was like I feared, great if you want to see something Lincoln related, or buy some fancy art work, but not if you're out of shower gel. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tales of my attempt to cycle coast to coast. Friday, 29 May 2009. We were very lucky with the group we had, no massive egos or aggresive atheletes. (Bermuda) Mike, Jay, Paul, Robert, Andy and Linda, it was great riding with you. In my final speech I talked about team Kysirium (Tom, Ron and Sam) and how great it was working as a team. I probably didn’t mention Eric and Jack enough, I really enjoyed their company. So that’s it. What’s next? Saturday, 23 May 2009. Day 33 Keene to Amesbury (112 miles). Yes, ...

Tales of my attempt to cycle coast to coast. Sunday, 10 May 2009. Day 22 Springfield to Tuscola (83 miles). In the afternoon one guy went off the front and two others got shelled out the back, so we were down to a group of four. This was a bit more relaxed and it was actually a pleasant ride in. Got in at 2pm, so a nice long rest before tomorrow. We're near an outlet mall (discount Helle Hansen shirt anyone? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). O beautiful for spacious skies.

Tales of my attempt to cycle coast to coast. Saturday, 16 May 2009. Day 28 Niles to Dunkirk (139 miles). Dodgy internet connection last night, that was the only reason for the delay in posting. 139 miles, one hundred and thirty nine miles. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE MILES. Easiest 139 miles I ever rode. A lot of the afternoon was spent near the shores of Lake Erie. A bit foggy so couldn't see very far, but Canada is out there somewhere.

Tales of my attempt to cycle coast to coast. Thursday, 7 May 2009. Day 19 Kirksville to Quincy (91 miles). Well another day and another state, we're in Illinois now, the birthplace of Lincoln. It was big rollers again today. The photo is kind of typical of the beautiful meadowland. The sun was (unexpectedly) out most of the day and it was quite warm. Staying in a Comfort Inn this evening. It rates quite highly in my heirachy of chain hotels, although it doesn't have a fridge. For amber waves of grain.

Tales of my attempt to cycle coast to coast. Monday, 18 May 2009. Day 30 Batavia to Liverpool (122 miles). So fortunately managed to get the winter stuff dried over night because it was effing freezing this morning. It was 36 degrees (F) that's only 2 degrees C. That's means we've had almost a 70 degree temperature range this trip, from 36, to 104 in the desert. Needless to say it was hat and big gloves time again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
