George's Cross Country Bike Ride. Sunday, June 24, 2007. Day 15 Camden, AL to Eufaulo, AL. Day 15 is in the can, and we have just two days to go. It is hard to believe that just two weeks ago we were in San Diego, CA. At that time I knew about three people on this ride. After an intense two weeks we recognize each other in the distance solely. By how we pedal the bike. Learned a lot from the other cyclists on this trip. It was weary 152 miles today mostly due to the three H's. Tendon is fine. I need ...

On the morning of the ride, fog was a cooling friend that added sparkle to my skin and hope for a comfortable ride day. Beyond my wildest dreams, indeed!
