On two hills she walked up so that she could continue. Tonight it feels like the cyclist body does not want to move or exert itself. We look forward to the second day. The distance of 26 miles was not great but the cyclist gained about 1,500 feet. The time of five hours was even worse, oh well!
About Me
- Wheeling for Women; The Heroine's Journey

- Are we not all on a heroine's or heroe’s journey? It is my younger daughter who first led me into biking, a bit of running and Yoga. As the retirement years approach I now see that I can spend my time in physical sport, a new passion for me, and help people at the same time. For the past two years, I came in first in my age category for the Standard Olympic Triathlon in Farmington, New Mexico ( the first race of my adult life). A native New Mexican, born in Albuquerque, I have lived in several states and abroad but for thirty years have lived Farmington,NM. I have a marvelous husband, three adult children and five grandchildren and many friends who are supporting this cycling venture.

All this work for a bike ride?
The title reflects my thoughts this morning as we began our journey to the starting place on the jetty by the dog park in Mission Bay. The driver believes that is an auspicious beginning point. The weather was beautiful we had planned well and the first part of the route followed the San Diego River. The route usually had a bike path but the traffic was intense, and many times the cyclist walked because of the lack of a bike path. Since the cyclist was in a metropolitan area not once did she feel that she would be lost. It is also the case that at each junction it took her time to carefully make the change of direction.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. this is Gage's message today to his Nana, the alphabet he typed out from the "mixed up" keyboard. Maybe you can use the "one letter at a time" analogy for those miles you are plugging away at. He wants to tell you we have a new T.V. (Our fifteen year old one finally quit for good.) Also that we are helping Dad (Gram) get ready to leave for Juneau this Sunday for the big RuralCap Conference. He sends his love and support daily and wants us to keep up on your blog faithfully. Gage wants to know what color is your bike?? And do you have a computer in your camper to get our message? I was wondering if you or David will sometimes respond by e-mail or will it be the public blog messages we should expect for the duration of the trip.
Cora Lee wants to say she had a GREAT parent teacher conference today and I will add that she has surpassed her reading goals this semester. She, teachers and parents are elated about her amazing progress lately. Gage wants to also add that Dad made a great hat the other day in his fur, bone artifact tradition that he will take to the conference to wear. He will room with a man from St. Mary's, AK (pop.534)We wish you lots of energy, stamina, and peace "hakuna matata!" as the kids song says . . . Love, the Davis Family
