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.

May 9 Day - 3


Terry, my friend from last summer's three week Pacific Cost ride, and room mate for this summer's cross country, arrived in Las Vegas from Calgary last night. We went for a 50 mile ride through Red Rock Canyon with the biking club. Terry had not been on his bike since we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge together in Sept, last year. He did well, after a winter of running, spinning, and lifting weights. He did look a little white.
We'll do one more club ride and Sandra will take us to Los Angeles to start the cross country ride.
