Please support our sons and daughters currently in uniform by donating to the USO.
After only five days of riding since our last rest day, we have paused in Santa Fe for another breather before resuming our crossing of the continent. The Rocky Mountains are behind us and we will now descend to a more reasonable elevation, crossing into Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
It's hard to believe that only two weeks ago we were all meeting each other for the very first time at the hotel in El Segundo, CA. Where before we were strangers, we have now become close friends. We've been through a lot together, deserts, mountains, rain, winds, and miles and miles of asphalt.
The dark line on the map above shows how far we've come.
Stats so far…
12 days of riding
894 miles
58:12 hours of riding
30,853 feet of climbing
45,559 Calories burned
3 states
3 century rides
5 fl*ts
10 chocolate shakes
There are many more miles to go before we reach Boston - the adventure continues.
Memorial Day weekend - we've made a donation to USO and will take a moment today to remember those who have served (and who are serving) our country.
