This blog is the last in my “Road to” series (for now anyway). I am up and getting sorted when I discover that I left my drink bottle in the freezer overnight which caused the bottom to blow out; I have about 220 klms to Memphis so there is no great rush. I get under […]

I had originally planned to ride from Fort Smith to Memphis in the one day which would have meant a 460 klm ride. I had to change those plans as my hamstring injury makes riding Fred hard work. To show that I am not as soft as what everyone out there is thinking, check this […]

After the mountain incident I spent the next couple of days catching up on a whole lot of different things. One was to sit down and plan the next stage of my trip so I could make my to Memphis. I will most likely go from Colorado Springs to Albuquerque, Amarillo, Oklahoma City and then […]

As the name of this blog suggests I was unfortunately involved in an incident on Pikes Peak yesterday. I will start from the start and get to it. I was up and raring to go to ride up Pikes Peak. The Peak is the backdrop that you can see in my photos that I took […]

I will pick up where I left Bill and made my way to the Airbnb at Centennial. I find that the Host (Gabriel) is a Minister in the Baptist church and both he and his wife (Heather) left well paid jobs to move to Denver to so he could take up a position with a […]
