I recently ran a report to see how much riding I have done. Wow! Over 1800 miles this year so far. I knew I had ridden a lot – but that is as much as I usually do in 8-10 months! Here is a summary by week of my rides training for this tour. I’ll continue to update this table until I leave. I will begin to taper down the training a bit in week before the start of the tour, but will still be riding some.

Once Mike got us hooked on the idea of touring on our trikes, we started looking for a short trip that would be relatively easy and beautiful at the same time. We decided to ride from Ventura, California to Ojai, California on the Ventura River Trail. We spent the night in Ojai and returned on Sunday to Ventura. Not so much riding – only about 40 miles – but very fun. It was the first time Nancy ever contemplated riding a bike anywhere that would force her to be dependent on herself (and not have a car to drive to a store or restaurant) and Mike.

I have ridden my trike for 6 months or so, and just love it! So we have decided that Nancy should ride as well. After a quick trip to our friend Dana Lieberman’s bike shop in N. Hollywood (Bent up Cycles), we came home with Nancy’s beautiful blue ICE Adventure.
