Pacific wheeldip


I made it! TransAmerica. 4400 miles. 10 states. 3 months. 4 flats (all faulty tubes/valves, the Schwalbes didn't puncture). More peanut butter and jelly sandwiches than I could count. More water than I thought possible to drink. Many gallons of ice cream and milkshakes. Truck loads of Pepsi, Coke, Dr Pepper. From sea level to 10500ft and a whole lot of up and down between. Headwind, tailwind all kinds of wind. Cold that nearly froze my fingers off and heat that nearly cooked the water in my bottles. Parched dusty brush to lush pasture and dense forest. So many friendly and generous people. A lifetime of memories. We did it!
