    Riding: 64 miles It’s finally here! The first day of the cross-country bike trip. We started the ride from La Push, WA, right on the Pacific Coast. It was a beautiful morning, low 60s and sunny. Good biking weather. We hit the road, heading toward the Olympic Discovery Trail. Along the way, Ride With GPS…

  • RV Trip Days 20-24: Missoula to La Push, WA

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 1 day We’re finally in La Push, WA, after a 24-day trip across the country with so many great experiences along the way – Yellowstone, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, five days of biking in Montana, and now the Pacific coast. Wow. Between Missoula and La Push, we stopped at the Wanapum State…

  • RV Trip Day 19: Darby to Missoula

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 6 days Ah, day five of a five day ride. It’s a good feeling to be done! Most of today’s ride was on the Bitterroot Trail that runs along I-93. I was glad to be on a paved trail and not fighting traffic today, though the close proximity to the highway…

  • RV Trip Day 18: Wisdom to Darby, WY

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 7 days Mileage today: 57 miles Today’s ride was another segment with a wide shoulder (most of the way), and plenty of beautiful vistas as I descended a mountain pass. Headwinds and tailwinds. They are no joke in Montana. Today I was cruising at 20+ mph and didn’t need to pedal…

  • RV Trip Day 17: Dillon to Wisdom, MT

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 8 days Mileage today: 65 miles Today was the big climb day, two mountain passes. The first was amazing.

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 9 days Mileage today: 73 miles This was day two of the five-day ride from Yellowstone to Missoula.

  • RV Trip Day 15: Yellowstone to Ennis, MT

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 10 days Mileage: 42 miles Over the next five days, I’ll be riding a section of the cross-country route. Why? Because Brian and I will be flying back to PA in mid-August to help Brynn get set up in her new apartment. During that time, Anita and Mark will continue on…

  • RV Trip Day 9-14: Yellowstone

    On a break while the family spends some time in Yellowstone. No biking, but a bit of hiking. We had an incredible time together in the park. I can’t believe how much we packed into a few days.

  • RV Trip Day 8: Cody, WY

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 17 days Ah, for the first time on this trip, we are NOT driving today. Yeah! I took advantage of the time to ride one of the most amazing trails – Stagecoach Trail. It’s a gravel road that runs along Buffalo Bill Reservoir – it’s part beautiful road along the lake…

  • RV Trip Day 7: Mt Rushmore to Cody, WY

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 18 days Good news. The tire shop was able to replace our RV’s damaged tire quickly this morning. Well, technically, they replaced all four rear tires. Not cheap, but we’re on our way with four good tires. We were on the road by 9:30 am and finally pulled into the Cody…
