Jim's 2018 Cross Country Bike Tour
Coach, I haven't checked in for a while so I think I need to fill you in on my activities. Since I had an Aug. 2017 partial knee replacement I've been focusing in bike improvement. Running isn't an option at this point but I'm hoping in lass than 2 years it will be.
I signed up for a cross country bike tour with Bubba's Pampered Peddlers starting in San Diego, CA on March 3rd and ending in St Augustine, FL on April 23rd. I had to set aside my Trek Speed Concept tri bike and got a Salsa Cutthroat Touring bike. Many of the 30 riders on this tour have a blog so I've started on blogger.com (jim's 2018 XUSA bike tour info). I've never done anything with blogs in the past so this is another learning experience 4 me. I'm used to long distance speed but here I've tried to train for repeated long distances (the tour does about 60+ miles a day with a day off about every 8 days). Breakfast and diner are proved. We camp about half the time and they set up the tents with air mattresses. There is more as you can imagine but that can be found on Bubba's website. I'll try to keep you a bit up to date on EN when I have internet available. I'm told it isn't always available on the southern route we will be taking.
