Welcome

Welcome to my blog spot. Soon I will begin my journey across America on my bicycle. I call my bicycle "The Diva". She has an all carbon fiber frame made by Orbea and is the most comfortable bicycle I have ever ridden. Every Orbea bicycle is born in the heart of the Pyrenees in northern Spain. This region, known as Euskadi in the Basque landguage and Pais Vasco in Spanish. This is a land where cycling is a way of life.
Together, The Diva and I will begin our adventure on March 7th from San Diego, California and travel across the country to St. Augustine, Florida. It will take us 58 days and the total mileage is 3,098 miles.

That sounds like so much fun!!!! What a great time to see the southern US in the spring with all the flowers starting to bloom. I am looking forward to hearing about your adventure. Will you have time to visit some quilt shops along the way? I know there are several in Texas in the towns you will be going through. Have fun, Sherron Torres

Congratulations on taking the plunge. I check womantours.com frequently with envy. On a bike tour two years ago on Vancouver Island, I met two women who had done the San Diego to Florida trip. I am sure you, too, will have hilarious stories to share when you get home. Have a great time and keep in touch.

Cheryl, I want to wish you the best for your great adventure. We will all look forward to your reports, if you have the strength to blog after the rides! With your wit and wisdom I'm sure we will be entertained, educated and inspired. What a wonderful way to see America and what a great accomplishment to be able to tell your grandchildren about! Have a great ride and lots of fun. Rick
