Last Training Ride!!!!

2011 miles to date: 3,834!!!!

I took my last training ride today, just a short 25 miles and it was mainly to check out my new shoes and my new camera set up, both worked out great.  My camera is attached to my handle bars with a quick clamp with a swivel base. The clamp is very light weight and sturdy.  I set my camera to take a picture every minuet, below are a few of the 135 pictures it took during my ride.  They came out pretty good considering the amount of vibration from my handle bars.

 

My bike is on it's way to Astoria, OR and it should get to the starting hotel tomorrow.  All I have left to do before I leave is:

Pack
Get my Truck smog checked.
Pay my bills
Set up my computer
Make a bracket for my rear view camera.
Order prints for the auction at work
Get my new blog together (bob2wheels.blogspot.com)
Get the trash picked up
Take donations to Goodwill
Put supply packages together
Return some stuff I over bought
and a few other things

Ride Like The Wind - NOT

The wind picked up during today's training ride and it was a struggle to get home.  My energy was low and I had to stop for a Power-bar break.  While I waited for my energy to come back I played with my new camera and took the following shot.

I started to fell better after about 20 minuets, I made it home and I did put another 40 miles in.  17 days to go!!!

Pedal On!
