Leg 59 Long Beach - Los Angeles (Apr 9): 55 km, climb 161 m. Total distance 5935 km. Last leg of the this adventure, surrealistic feeling... Been on the road since Jan 19, and now, all of sudden (or maybe not that sudden) no [...]
Leg 58 Laguna Beach - Long Beach (Apr 8): 37 km, climb 199 m. Total distance 5880 km. Shortest ride on the entire trip today. A blast riding through Laguna Beach in the morning with all the steep (but short) climbs and steep down [...]
Leg 57 Oceanside - Laguna Beach (Apr 7): 58 km, climb 392 m. Total distance 5843 km. Short ride north, glad it wasn't all that long when my thighs didn't really have that normal punch... When heading north from Oceanside you really don't have [...]
Leg 54 Calexico - Boulevard (Apr 1): 102 km, climb 1364 m. Total distance 5518 km. Entering the final part of our adventure, and a great adventure should have a great finale. Today we left the flat areas around Calexico located at, and somewhat [...]
Leg 52 Wellton - Yuma (Mar 29): 74 km, climb 254 m. Total distance 5315 km. There are mornings and there are mornings! Glorious conditions again. After 20 km we arrived at the beautiful Telegraph Pass with a 200 m vertical climb in rugged [...]
Leg 48 Nogales - Tucson (Mar 24): 103 km, climb 128 m. Total distance 4850 km. Another wonderful day in southern Arizona. Sun shining from a more or less cloudless sky, temperature around 25C/77F most of the day, warmest reaching just below 30C/86F. Even [...]
Leg 47 Sierra Vista - Nogales (Mar 23): 106 km, climb 611 m. Total distance 4747 km. Today was most likely the best ride this far. Nice morning with some scattered clouds but dead calm. The first 11 km along Buffalo Soldier road was [...]
Leg 41 El Paso - Las Cruces (Mar 14): 59 km, climb 344 m. Total distance 4147 km. So nice to wake up to a clear crisp (6C/42F) blue sky this morning with abated wind, only 10-20 mph (16-32 m/s) and no sudden gusts. [...]
Leg 39 Van Horn - Fabens (Mar 11): 145 km, climb 588 m. Total distance 4013 km. Chilly morning (6C/42F), luckily we had a 162 m vertical climb to warm us up to begin with. Long ride today along the interstate 10 under excellent [...]
Leg 35 Del Rio - Sanderson (Mar 6): 191 km, climb 1478 m. Total distance 3542 km. Well, todays distance was not 191 km. Riding that long in completely uninhabited country didn't feel safe, not to mention that we wouldn't be able to complete [...]
