Training on our bicycles for hours at a time, in the basement, has been getting more difficult. At least for me. Not only the fact that we spend two hours each day pedaling without traveling an inch, but we wee running out of recordings of good television. The only reprieve from the unchanging scenery is getting lost in an intriguing movie plot.
This weekend our satellite provider gave us a Free View weekend. All HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax channels were available for free. We now have 50 hours of "new" movies recoded. Hopefully they are good, because I attempt to have something recording all weekend. Sometimes we barely get through the opening scene before we hit the delete. Stationery cycling is difficult enough, but nearly impossible while watching a terrible movie.
On Saturday, we biked through "Lee Daniel's The Butler" and went past our scheduled time without complaint.
BTW: We spent Friday night sorting through 120 t-shirts, preparing for distribution.
After pedaling our tandem bicycle 2,909 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in 2013, we will be duplicating the journey on single bikes this time. This should be easier for Jeff and more challenging for Lisa as she shifts from passenger to driver. Once again, we will be raising funds for Custom Canines Service Dog Academy. The Pedal 4 Paws blog is sponsored by Verizon, who provided the equipment that ensures a reliable internet connection throughout the Southern United States.
Trip Summary
Day 52: 2929 miles completed, 8 states, 7 flat tires, 4 flat mattresses, 40 new friends and Bruce #1, 8 rest days
