Last but not Least

Made it to the Coast at Astoria, Oregon.
My cycling statistics to date:
99 days of cycling
13 states
145 miles in one day!
1 flat tire
15+ peeing in my pants
Billions of hills
More food than any one person should consume in a lifetime.
 
Aside from cycling, I practically napped and laughed myself across the country. The most notable aspect of this experience has been the endless generosity and support we have received along the way. The distance that complete strangers went for us is unbelievable. Anything from a meal, a place to stay, a much needed shower, laundry, a drink, excitement and interest in our journey, a ride in dire conditions or even just a friendly wave and a smile. Everyday brings new reminders of how caring people truly are and how much there is to be thankful for.

 
Now, I have finally reached the Pacific Coast at Astoria, Oregon only to realize that I am not ready to stop the adventure. With a farewell to the TransAmerica Trail, I join the hundreds of cyclists that travel down the Pacific Coast. Who knows how far I will go? Or where I will finally settle down? TBD

 
I must thank each and every one of you for all the support and love you have given me. A special thank you for my Grandmother Peggy who passed away while I was on the road. I carry her caring nature and love with me on this adventure.

 
AND the moment you have all been waiting for...

I have a blog! and I will do my best to update and post. I have even started taking pictures = CRAZY. Right now, it is sparse, but I will be working on it soon.
Here is the website: lizbizkeepsbiking.blogspot.com
(A little background on the blog name: whenever Jeanne and I were having a tough time at any point on a ride, we would sing "Just Keep Biking" to Dori from Finding Nemo's "Just Keep Swimming" song. It always gave us a boost to keep trucking through rough miles. And, my nickname on the trail was Lizbiz)

 
With Love,
