Days 4-6

 Day 4

On day four, we rode from Blythe California to Wickenburg AZ. I spent some time in the shag wagon until the top of a climb. From there I continued on for about 50 miles. We were on roads that were made at the least very boring. Also, it was some highway and there was lots of debris. At approximately mile 50 my legs were aching, incredibly and I had developed a saddle sore. Between these two things I was experiencing a lot of pain and decided to get into the SAG wagon. During this 50 miles I rode quite well. Below are some pictures. 






Day 5

I knew at the end of the previous day for that I most likely would be in the van on this day. Given the length of climb and how my legs and my saddlesore were feeling, I decided to stay in the SAG wagon this day. I did take many pictures of The riders as well as some scenic pictures. 





Day 6

12/12/2023

Today we rode from Prescott Arizona to Cottonwood Arizona. It was a 45 mile ride which I was able to complete. We had a 6 mile steep climb with prior to that approximately 6 mile slow climb. I was able to do it all, and I felt well. The rest of the ride was all downhill. We stopped in the town of Jerome at the haunted hamburger restaurant. If you ever get a chance you should go there. The story is quite interesting. They have the best milkshakes I have ever had. From there, we proceeded to Cottonwood.  Overall today was a good day.

 Well, today was our last day of a full ride. We rode from Brattleboro Vermont through New Hampshire and into Burlington MA. I was able to complete the day for a total of 91 miles. Additionally, my climbing was over 5000 feet. I rode well through most of the day. During the last 10 to 15 mile I started getting tired. But I continue to ride on with no aches or pains anywhere. I remember at some point during the tour that Tom, one of the staff members told me that we begin to behave like we’re machines. Today that is what I felt like. My legs just kept going but at a little bit slower than they had earlier in the day. It was kind of surreal, passing through New Hampshire, and subsequently into Massachusetts realizing I am home, and I have actually cycled across the United States. I suspect this won’t hit me until a couple of days has passed, and I am back home. Again today I did not take many pictures. I think this was more because I’ve been in this area and some of these areas are f...

 Today is our final day of the adventure across United States riding from Manhattan Beach to Revere Beach. We rode from the Burlington Hotel to Revere Beach for a total of about 16 to 17 miles. We did our daily route rap song as well. It was our farewell song. We did BORN in the USA. After the song we group together. Someone asked who will lead us to Revere Beach and someone volunteered myself.  I have felt home since we crossed over the Massachusetts line. I was truly honored to be the leader. I then lead them from the Burlington hotel to Revere Beach.  At Revere Beach my friend Beth met me there. I was so excited to see her and so happy that she was there. She was able to take lots of pictures, some of which I will post below. This trip has been an incredibly awesome event. I will never forget these times. I will never forget the people I have met. The whole group was incredibly awesome. We had so many fun times as well as some very difficult times. Each one of us had o...
