Day two

I'm not as strong as I'd like to be yet. I struggle going up the steep grades and need to stop and rest now and then. Keith just keeps plugging along only stops to wait for me.  I do very well keeping up other times though,  I'm so happy with my Silvio for that reason.
There was a lot of climbing with little shoulder again, Keith stuck our flags out sideways from the trailer and my bike and the traffic stayed clear after that.
We had another flat tire, this time on the trailer.  Luckey my handy man was along to fix it! Lucky my handy man is around to pull it!
We got as far as Goble camp ground. We have climbed over a mile so far.
We got to shower after two days of sweating, it was wonderful.
Bev and Manuel left for Tacoma Washington this morning to visit Manny's aunt. We will probably meet up with them again on Sunday

  1. Your doing great! Don't get discouraged if you can't keep up on the hills. Slow and steady is sometimes the best way. When I bike with Jared I find that when I am trying to keep up with him, I wear myself out quicker. When I concentrate on my own best pace, I usually go quicker and use less energy. Just do your best and be proud of your self!! Your are awesome!! Love you!
