Did I say LESS THAN THREE WEEKS? Surely not!! Today is April 22, and we leave Mobile on May 10. Oh My G . . . and, I've been signed up for this since November 1, 2007! I HAVE been riding my bike a lot, but most of my riding has been on FLAT land, and, well, I think I'm going to be in trouble on the hills!
Oh! I AM going to get to ride some hills before we leave! I am going to Mobile by way of the Smoky Mountain National Park. Remember, I LOVE to hike! My hiking club has planned a week-long trip to the Smokies the same week I go on my biking adventure. So, I'll get to hike three days, AND my sweet, understanding husband is going to ride one day with me on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Now those are some hills! One day should do it!! (ha, ha)
I learned to change a flat this week. I didn't have fun!! And, I hate pumping up my tires. I wonder if there is any way I can smuggle my husband along on this all women trip??

Sondra,
I'll be checking on you every day while you're on your trip, and then I'll see you in Niagara when you finish. You're doing the kind of thing that I think I would like to do.

My wife has really work hard getting ready for this tour. Between swimming, running and biking, not to mention the weight loss, she is READY! If you want to go fast, get on her wheel. I am really proud of all her efforts and want her to have a great time but a five week tour is a long time and I surely will miss her.
My new hero - wish I was retired to go with you!
Sondra, We are soooo proud of you. We have first hand knowledge that you are ready for your tour. I have been hanging on your wheel all spring. Go make us proud, we'll be checking on you regularly. We are with the rest of the group in Beaugancy today, ready to start our tour across Loire tomorrow. Talk to you soon...Leigh and Bryan
Hey Mom,
Good job with the flat fixing. You're really ready now. You are a super star at any age! We're proud of you!!! Have fun. We love you.
Hey Gran!!! You are officially the COOLEST grandmother ever! I love ya. Katie
MOM, checking your progress daily. Took 3 bikes into bike shop today for flat repair/new tires. Boys told some "adventure bike racers" (2 guys early 20's) that their GRANNY was riding her bike from Mobile to Canada and they said, "Well so much for whinning about OUR races...dang, she's awesome!" We think you rock...keep on. Love, Keri
