willdo! She fared better than I did, actually. At the end, we were still holding a 12-4 MPH avg, but she was maintaining better than me. I ride a superlightweight road bike, too.

No, that was Memorial day Weekend, last year. We did a short overnighter, loaded like a long tour, testing out load balance, etc. We're planning on taking the train out to the West Coast in May, and riding back to Indiana.

Tom, I think this record and near record heat is dragging everyone down a notch or two, it's been brutal here with 10 PM temperatures above 90F and pre sunrise lows of 78. Congrats to you and the Mrs. on the ride.
