We seem to have a pattern going…every trip we take we begin planning our next one. Last July we planned our trip to Florida. While we were in Florida, we began discussing our Colorado Road/Camping Trip. And…yes, while in Colorado…we started discussing our next trip. We are thinking next year sometime of doing a big trip down the East Coast through MD, the Carolinas, Virginia…etc. So if you see this and have any suggestions of where to go or what to do along the East Coast, leave us a message and let us know.
We’d love to hear your suggestions!
We are back, click here to see our pictures…
It’s time to end the countdown…today we leave for the best trip of the year so far! The weather might get in our a way a little bit, but we’re not going to let it get us down!
We’ll make sure to post some of our hundreds of pics we plan on taking as soon as we can.
Colorado or bust!
I can’t wait for our road trip, we leave in a week…here is a peek at the Garden of the Gods…where we are staying.
So I have been debating, if I am ready and want to do the century yet or not. For those who do not know, I am riding in the Tour de Cure this saturday and have been thinking about really pushing myself to do the 100 miles for the first time. I have been looking at the weather.
Seems like it’s going to be a beautiful day, but just a tad hot (but I like it hot). I also have to keep in mind that we will be biking along the river, and I heard the river usually brings along a lot of wind with it. That will mean head wind, I know there aren’t many hills on this ride, but riding into a head wind, can sometimes seem like riding up a hill. So…what should I do?
I know afterwards I can cool off, because we will have free admission into raging rivers. hmmmm….
Well we finally finished the Horsey Hundred this weekend. We biked about 92+ miles on Saturday and Sunday. Tired but feelin’ good…we burned thousands of calories–always great!
If you visit our site and were drawn here by our jersey’s or meeting us at the HH…leave us a comment! We’d love to hear from the people we met or passed on the road this weekend!
This video is of someone who has traveled worldwide taping this and mixing it along the way; recording/mixing for each subsequent taping session somewhere else in the world. This is the phenomenal result.

This site is pretty cool with a good message, and there are more videos too.
Well…it’s set…we’re taking off in a couple days…heading for the beautiful sights of Georgetown, KY! We returned the new camera toy CJ bought and replaced it with a caribener camera that’s 100x better than the other!
We will have pictures posted from our ride and the weekend adventures both on and off the road as soon as we return!
To make the weekend even better…we’re heading to Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois on Sunday to enjoy Memorial Day camping and relaxing after a long bike riding weekend!
Wish us luck this weekend!!!
Sweet…It will be right at my birthday.. July 23rd (It will always be the last full week of July)
For all of you that don’t know…I am making plans of doing this RAGBRAI in 2010 for my 30th birthday.
It’s a bike ride across Iowa (470 miles). It’s kinda of one of those over the hill things…actually for this ride it’s going to be lots of climbing up hills(Iowa’s not flat) << to give you an idea, the amount of hills you climb during the trip is about 23,000 feet of climbing- equivilant to 4 miles stright up.
Should be fun and a great accomplishment. I have a few friends that are interested in going and should be one heck of a party for my 21st!!! (OK…30th). Anyone else is welcome…
To the old biking man who passed me yesterday,
Hi, I would like to join you in congratulating yourself on passing me and my gf yesterday. I am sure it made you feel real good about yourself. The fact that we are young cyclists in our late 20’s and going as fast as we wanted to on a beautiful day, should not stop you in obtaining your goal of getting a good workout in and prolonging your happy life.
On a side note, I do want to thank you for passing me yesterday. It got me thinking, thinking that this guy has got to have at least 30 years on me. Oh, my gosh, I thought…what can happen in thirty years. I still have my whole life ahead of me, there are hundreds of miles I can still bike in my life. Some rides just started popping in my head. By this time, you were way up there. I thought, I couldn’t let him just get away. So, I dug in and sped to get up to you.
I snapped a picture of you and that’s when I noticed you were wearing a RAGBRAI jersey. That got me real pumped up, cause I was thinking about doing the RAGBRAI(ride across Iowa) next year, and now there is no excuse good enough not to go ride 470 miles.
After that ride, I will do another, and another…until I am that old biking man that still has it.
This, I can tell is the beginning of a long happy journey. So Thank You Mr biking man.
Sincerely,
Biking for Sushi,
