What's your connection to the Ride:Well Tour?
Cross-Country Cyclist
About Me:
I found out about ride:well from a friend and immediately knew that it was what I needed to help break away from the monotony of my work and to spend time figuring out how I can best glorify and magnify God in my day-to-day life.

I love most things outdoors and have a history of picking up hobbies on a whim. Most recently I have gotten into scuba diving, rock climbing, and biking (although no loaded touring) and am super excited to finally be officially signed up for the 2010 Ride:Well Pacific Tour!

I tried to come up with all of this top 10 list before I started writing any of the posts, but it seems to change a bit every time I think about what to talk about next. Today as I was talking to my mom on the phone, she asked if I was glad that the trip is almost over (3 weeks done, 2 weeks to go). It is easy to answer that I am in no way looking forward to the journey ending and going back to "real life" in a couple of weeks. These are absolutely the two biggest reasons I have to cherish…

Top 10 reasons Ride:Well is awesome

I have loved almost every minute of the trip so far, so it has been really hard to narrow down 10 reasons that have made this time so great. Moreover, it would be too difficult to actually rank them, so instead, I’ll just do a couple at a time, in no particular order:

Getting to drink Starbucks VIA every day

It seems fitting to start with this because as I write this post I am drinking some VIA instant coffee. I’m not a huge fan of coffee, but I…

Ride:Well – Top 10 complaints about riding my bike up the coast

The ride up the coast so far has been awesome, and right now we have a couple of days off in San Francisco. Putting this list together was tough because overall this has been a great experience, but I managed to come up with a couple of things to complain about. My next post will be a top 10 list…

I haven't done any riding yet, but the bike is on its way so I haven't had the chance. It's being shipped here from Colorado, and I'm tracking it across the country :) I got a Surly Long Haul Trucker. I'd also suggest looking at the Trek 520 (more pricey but freakin' sweet) and the Kona Sutra... there is a Schwinn but I didn't take it too seriously. Those are the touring bikes. You can tour on a regular road bike as long as it has the bolts for racks (obviously) but it of course has to be stronger than a regular bike... You might already know all this. What are you looking at?

Oh and a few details I got on mine are cantilever brakes instead of shifter brakes and chromoly instead of aluminum to absorb the shock over the long hours

Dan! I came to Ride:Well in a very similar manner. I'm on the south tour, so I won't be riding with you, but good luck!
