Currently blogging from thousands of feet above the Grand Canyon. Isn’t technology amazing….

See the mapped route here… I have so much to post and write about but this ride today was one of the best rides I’ve ever had the opportunity to do. B&K and I met up with all their biking friends at Starbucks early on this morning. About 20 people in all sucked a coffee [...]

On the final day we drove approx 450 miles from Tucson to Las Vegas bringing the grand total of our drive to approx 2600 miles. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=107616676493928707607.00049629e45bc5ba94d20&t=h&z=4

As I poked my head through the hotel curtains Tucson, Arizona greeted me with a warm lavender and orange glow creeping gently beyond the buildings across the street. The air outside was very brisk under the cloudless sky – the Waffle House across the street was inviting so Bob and I went across to eat [...]

Mt Lemmon Mountain Climb By Bike. This ride was one of the hardest rides I’ve ever done. About three hours of riding at an average speed of 19mph – comprised of around 8mph going up 30 miles to the summit and up to 46mph coming down… That’s right, 30 miles biking uphill. For the girl [...]

It was a fairly uneventful day. I say fairly uneventful because it just really entailed a hellalot of driving. In total we covered 650miles from Midland, Texas, through New Mexico and into Tucson, Arizona. *Noteworthy* bits of the trip are: 1. Trains – How many fricken containers can one engine pull? It’s crazy stuff when [...]

It was a lazy start to the day at my sisters house. A few cups of coffee and tea, a shower, B checked in with his girl, I checked in with Facebook and then from downtown Dallas we made our way through the maze of freeways and exits and eventually pulled up at the Texas [...]
