A Long Ride

When I planned the route back in July, I wrote "this will be scaled down." Wrong. I rode it almost exactly as planned, except for the last week or so. Instead of going down to New Orleans, I spent more time in southern Colorado and Utah. I actually rode a lot farther than I expected... I was thinking of about 7000 miles total and instead I rode nearly 10,000!

Here are some numbers out of my journal:
30 days
9,910 miles
221 gallons of gas
2 rear tires
1 front tire
1 big scary bear
