Tour d'Etats Unis!!

Woweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee look at me go!! My calf muscles are getting HUGE I tell ya...HUGE!!      I felt an update on my transcontinental journey was long overdue.  The last distance I was cycling and measuring was from  Trenton,ON to Philadelphia, PA - a total of 710kms!!

I have now gone past Philadelphia (Hi Sluggy, hi Judy - where did you go Judy??) and need to get my bearings. It looks like I'm right on course to visit a reader in Cape May, New Jersey which is a total of  150kms and is the easternmost destination on my map. (on the trigger part of my gun-shaped schema). I've already cycled 75km so I'm halfway there!! If my reader would like to share some of the highlights of that beautiful part of the world please email me with photos and/or suggestions. (j_harrison@rogers.com)

I'm learning so much about different parts of the world that I am seriously considering doing this trek for real when I retire, though by car (or VW bus!!) instead of by bike.

Or what about this interesting combo?


After Cape May I'll be heading southwest to visit Sharon, then north to see Mark in Harrisburg, PA. So get ready with your highlights folks as I'll be whizzing by - I've got a looooooooong ways to go and I can't let moss grow on my spokes!!

On another note - I am feeling much more relaxed with my new system of blogging (can ya tell?) - writing a post one day and visiting/commenting on your blogs the next day. So while I may be a day late commenting on your posts I will be digesting them more thoroughly and intelligently (that remains to be seen HAH!) And I'm also hoping that my posts will be  created with more care, thoughtfulness and correct spelling/grammar HAH...not!! Well a girl can try...right??

So now that my post is complete I am going to chill out with a(nother) glass of wine and thou (thou = Michael you lucky dog you!!), watch a DVD or two in bed with thou (also = Michael) and take a night off pedaling 'cause my knees HURT!! but I'll be back in the saddle again tomorrow night (saddle = bike!!)

Love y'all!!

  2. Your biking adventure is quite inspiring.  You've travelled so far between last year and this year and having destinations in mind is a great way to keep yourself motivated.

  11. Yes, it really helps what is otherwise a rather boring venture. I'm going to have some great info about Cape May from a reader there - it sounds like a little piece of paradise!

  13. I try to bike 3 or 4 times a week but sometimes "life" gets in the way. With the nice weather I also walk 30 minutes on my lunch - just gotta keep moving!
