This blog site documents my solo cross country bicycle adventure that goes from San Diego California to St. Augustine Florida - 3,200 miles. The trip is planned from November 21st until January 5th. The goal is to ride 80 miles per day for 40 days with 2 days of transport and 2 days for rest or bad weather. Gonna be a major challenge and a trip to remember!

i just got back from a run at lunch and man was it cold out there. There's no chance of a white Christmas here, but our relatives in BOS and SLC are covered in the white stuff, so just remember, it could always be worse.
It's never a bad day on the bike, just a cold one. ; )
Keep your foot hard on the peddle...son, never mind them brakes
let it all hang out cause we've got a run to make
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta,and there's beer in Texarcana
and we'll bring it back no matter what it takes
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
a'we gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I'm east bound just watch ol'Bandit run ......

No Tim, it is not any consolidation! We froze our butts off today.
Stephen - thanks for the encouragement but remember, if it is very very cold, it might turn into a bad day.
Tim - if you rode your bike as good as your humor has been, you would be in Le Tour!
Steve....
Wow ... that is almost as cold as when a group of us did a century back in November. Almost
