I am on my way

I am on my way out of the State of Minnesota heading to Colorado.  As the sign on my office wall says, "I am biking to work...  FROM DENVER, COLORADO and I hope to see you June 2, 2014."

Hard to believe the ride is here.  The plan is to leave on Saturday morning.  I drove the route back last Saturday and had to make many changes.  Based on topography, prevailing winds and other factors, my plan is as follows:

DAY	From Golden
1	96 Miles
2	60 Miles
3	89 Miles
4	86 Miles
5	64 Miles
6	66 Miles
7	73 Miles
8	45 Miles
9	45 Miles
10	83 Miles
11	80 Miles
12	75 Miles
13	71 Miles
TOTAL	934 Miles
PER DAY AVERAGE	71.9 Miles

I have a Blog set up for the trip.  It is http://2men2bikes.blogspot.com   I have excitement, fear, concern, confidence and doubt.  Much like the 100 mile ultra marathon attempts.  One thing for sure, when I finish, it will be a great accomplishment.  Another thing is after months of 60-70 hour work weeks, this will be a welcomed and much needed break.

Carry on my friends, Carry on....
