17 Days to Go

My goal with this Blog is to post daily up until I leave. Hopefully while I am on the road we will have access to technology. Running water, flush toilets, electricity! 
It is now less than 3 weeks until I leave for San Diego. My training this week has consisted of the following;
Sun. 3/9 Solidarity ride, moderate pace 41 miles. +7 miles on the loop
Mon. 3/10 (Kathy's birthday) Slow group ride 30 miles with breakfast stop
Tues. 3/11 Crews Lake Road to Bartow 35 some hills moderate pace
Wed. 3/12 Group ride Plant City 35 miles moderate pace
Thurs. My plan is to run Lake Hollingsworth, then go to yoga at noon.
I feel very lucky living in Florida. The rest of the team is having to train in spite of the winter weather. I have no excuses.
I think packing is going well. I am trying to keep things to a minimum but we have to be ready for temperatures from 20* to 90*
There are 6 other vegetarians on the trip. This should make food planning and preparation easier. It is time to get out on the road. PEACE, MP

I am bursting with pride. Marianne is my little sister and I haven't had to look far for a role model lately. I only wish we lived closer. I look forward to following her here on line and then joining her on the final day of the ride when she reaches Virginia.
You were born to do this, Sis.
love,
