Oooh... it's getting hotter and hotter and steeper and steeper. So I jumped in the SAG wagon and we drove over the mountains, and then started biking again.
I stopped for a break in the Algodones Dunes Wilderness.
I am finally doing what I have been wanting to do for the last few years – a bike trip across the Southern part of the United States. My goal is to bike most of the miles on the backroads of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, along the Gulf of Mexico through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and finally arriving in Florida.
My husband Michael will drive our camper which will be my SAG (Support And Gear) wagon and our home for the trip. At times I may catch a ride with him if the weather gets bad.
I am dedicating my bike ride from the Pacific to the Atlantic to the Children. I am a member of the Teak Branch, one of the branches of volunteers for Children's Hospital Oakland. The volunteers do fund raising for Children's Hospital and research Center Oakland, a non-profit, renown hospital and cancer and research center for children. No child is ever turned away for lack of funds. If you would like to make a donation, please make out your check in an affordable amount to Children's Hospital Branches and mail it to:
