The original route for today was 75 miles to Dubois. That is a little longer than we prefer. When Joanna and I started to look at lodging, we realized there was another option. Just fourteen miles in, we could stay in a traditional tipi on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Who could pass up a chance to sleep in a tipi?…
At 6:30 in the morning, Rich and I were on the road. It felt wonderfully cool at only 59º, and we were grateful for the early start knowing temperatures would soar above 100º later that afternoon. What we didn’t know is that this would be our most scenic ride to date…
Joanna and I returned today from a trip to New York to attend a family event. We are now back on the bike after a two-week hiatus. We are excited to be back…
I have told Rich many times during this trip how grateful I am that he designed and had our Together We Ride jerseys made. They have become wonderful conversation starters wherever we go. Time and again, someone notices the jerseys, asks about our ride, and before long we’re sharing stories about Leora, epilepsy, and this cross-country adventure…
The plan for today was a short 18-mile ride to Saratoga. Joanna and I were originally planning on a rest day, but we decided to knock off a few miles of tomorrow’s ride today to make tomorrow’s ride easier given the forecast is back to the high 90s…
As I was soaking in the scenic beauty of Rich’s and my fifty-mile ride today, I was taken by how much we have experienced as we were heading north out of Colorado towards our 13th state, Wyoming…
Should I stay or should I go? Every morning, Joanna and I get up and look at the weather forecast and make a decision on the route for the day. Are we good to go? Do we need to shorten the ride or alter our schedule? Today was a tough choice…
Sometimes it happens. At the end of yesterday’s ride, I noticed that my handlebars were no longer aligned with my front wheel. That’s never a good sign. Fortunately, I travel with Rich, my own personal bicycle mechanic..
Spectacular. Stunning. Epic. Choose your favorite superlative. The scenery today was amazing…
I have been looking forward to today ever since I started planning Joanna’s and my route. Today, I ride to the top of Hoosier Pass at 11,542 feet…
