DAY ONE: THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Thus begins the bicycle adventure of two redirected guys who happen to have bikes and like to adventure. In 2013, Rick Stiles and I pedaled our recumbent bikes from the Pacific to the Atlantic. In 2014 we got dumped off at the Arctic Ocean and wended our way back to the lower forty-eight. And today we begin a new adventure to pedal bikes from US/Mexican border to the US/Canadian border.
The remainder of this week we'll ride from Townsend to Billings as part of a fine tune training ride, then on Friday catch a car ride down to Nogales, Sornora, Mexico to begin bicycling north to Canada.
I'll include pictures, record timely conversations and a miscellany of what might be of interest to you. So thanks for checking in on our adventure. I hope that you'll join our travel team if only vicariously. That means a lot to us!
Excited for your next adventure. You and Rick are our gyros!

DeleteTom, I am excited for you and Rick on your new journey. I am glad that this time, prevailing winds will aid the two of you 😏. Go with God! I'll be following you here and on FB. Hoping that you might find that town with the interesting outdoor murals.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John! Each journey offers it's own unique potpourri of people, sights, and adventures. Looking forward to what lies ahead! Thanks for following us!

DeleteSafe travels, Tom and Rick! I'll be walking the Montour Trail near our place. And, of course, praying for you adventurers. I did not get that gene! Kate got it, and would have been a good companion...fluent spanish. Looking forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. Your prayers mean a lot to us. Sometimes I wonder if we've gotten in over our head--this time it's the heat (today was 100 degrees) as you pedal in slow motion. But last year I froze in the tundra. Maybe Kansas would be a safer place to adventure in :)
