Click on each day in the list below to see a separate photo album. I have previously posted the 3rd days photos, but the rest were all just put up this morning.

Steve Bradley got some great photos. I also have quite a few that I [...] I didn’t know it yet, but this part coming up was going to be the best part of the ride, and the worst part of the ride for us. I always try to look at everything as positively as possible. For example, I knew that we had 22 mile left to go. Why, that’s not [...] | ||||
