Ride 2017

Well, the preparations have begun.  This year we’ll be heading to Mount Rushmore. We’re leaving a little later this summer due to job schedules so we’re hoping it’s not going to be too hot.  However, it can’t be worse than it is here at home – 105 degrees yesterday. Ugh.

We changed tires yesterday.  Tom gave the bike a bath and checked everything out so our ride is ready.  Now we just have to pack!  The living room has been transformed into a staging area:

This year’s journey will be a little over 3,200 miles in 10 days.
