Didn't make the 65 miles, Instead 71 YEA!

I couldn't stop riding the rail trail I just had to go the whole way to Lebanon. I had never ridden the portion from Cornwall to Lebanon so I just had to do that. So in one ride I was able to do the entire Etown to Lebanon rail trail. Coming home was a challenge on route 72. I actually don't feel to bad. I think I really needed to do this many miles to give me some confidence that I can maybe actually do this Trek-a-Cross America at my age. It was a good reality check. We still some training to do. A goal I had for myself was to ride 3600 miles the year before we left. So June 1, 2012 I started. I needed to average about 10 miles a day. At day 282 I have 2874 miles, it is the first time I am ahead of my needed miles. It has been a challenge over the winter to keep up with the riding in the cold. Today was a God given warm day. Thank you Heavenly Father!!

Check out some of the other pages about the Trek-a-Cross, they have been updated.
