About Me

Las Vegas, NV, United States
This is my 2008 grand adventure...riding a bicycle with 35 international bikers across Europe, following the Danube River along the Orent Express route through eleven countries. The ride is 4000km over 50 days of which 39 are ride days with camping and 11 are rest days in hotels. Our tour group, TourdAfrique, provides a tour leader that provides directions and transposts our luggage, a mechanic, and a chef who promises gourmet local cuisines. We start out in Paris on June 1 and travel through France to Germany, where we pick up the Danube river. We then follow the Danube through Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. Then we ride cross country through Romania, Bulgaria, and finally Turkey, where we finish in Istanbul on July 20.

April 21 Day - 20


Tour de Summerlin century. This was a tiring 100 miles with 3500' of climbing and temps of 70 deg. I finished itching and found numerous bumps over my body. It was a big mystery that night as I tried to figure out if could be bug bites or hives. Next morning it wasn't better, so went to the doc in a box, who diagnosed it as a recurrence of chicken pox. Who would have imagined! Am taking anti-viral and anti-itch meds and feeling better. Doc said to continue biking!
185 miles for the week and three spinning classes...getting in shape!
