March 30
After difficult travel conditions (by car), I thought I had better give the bike a warm-up ride. Phoenix was beautiful this morning!
Category: Preparing for the Ride
Pre-Ride Travel
Mar 26-27: Travel to Pine, CO to visit our dear friends, the Branches, enjoying beautiful snow-flocked pine trees, the mountains just outside of Denver, and being part of a wonderful Easter church service.
Mar 28: Drive from Pine to Gallup, NM following part of my pre-mapped route which has now changed thanks to the locals (Branches). New Route from NM up to KS to be determined.
Mar 29: Drive from Gallup to Phoenix, where we will enjoy a visit with our son, Eric. Unfortunately, we experienced car problems in Holbrook, AZ, which has delayed us 1/2 day.
Mar 30: We plan to enjoy a day in Phoenix with family and friends.
Mar 31: Drive to San Diego and have dinner with Jane’s brother Bob, and prep for Day 1 ride starting at Mission Bay Beach, San Diego.Ready to roll!

Tennis Buddies Practice
Ric brought his recumbent bike and trailer to the March 5 Omaha Tennis Buddies tennis practice. The athletes gave Ric plenty of encouragement and support.
