I am currently training for the final leg of this cross-continent tour. 1350km is a long way to ride. I have logged more than 650km in training so far, but need some more long days and some hill climb practice (at least that is what Pete says).
Pete is my brother-in-law and riding buddy. He is also part of the tour riding the same section as I am.
On August 18 we set out on two wheels on our rolling passage across the East. We depart from Grand Rapids, Michigan and after two nights we roll off the ferry back in Canada. Eventually after much celebration and fanfare we depart from our beloved homeland and cycle through a few Northeastern states to the Atlantic. We plan to dip our tires into the water and hopefully won't be tempted to toss the whole bike in behind.

Keep up the training, Marge. I've put in close to 2000km by now I think. Once you start putting in 50-100km rides, the distances adds up quickly.
What I find now is that I need to transition into riding a fair distance (minimum 50k, I think) EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I see that day two of our ride after GR is 150km... We've got to be ready for that!
