Well, you can count me as one who is sad to see this one end. I have so enjoyed your writing, Lyle! Kudos to both of you on a wonderful tour. Enjoy the rest of your trip, and safe travels.

Auto correct is so annoyingly creative. I’m going to write a sentence about scamorza cheese just to see what it does 😂🤣😜. Anyway, that ravioli and tomato sauce looks delicious.

And that's a good thing!

Hi Kelly,
I recommend that you try and make sure you ride this on a week day as I understand that there are a lot of motorcycles on the weekends especially as the summer progresses. In my opinion this would not be nice for both my ears and for cycling. All the best!

As you know we always have ideas percolating through the spongy matter of our brains! 😊

It was a fun tour thanks for joining us.

Thank you for following along and taking the time to add insights and comments. We enjoy hearing from people and their perspectives.

It was a lovely trip. We enjoyed our added rest days and unloaded rides. Hopefully we will meet up somewhere else. Thanks for joining us on the ride.

Woohooo! I'm reading and rereading this in detail. In one month it's our moment of decision about doing the climb. I'm holding onto your statement about a relentless 7% climb - that's a grade I can deal with.

Yes it did come with me much to LT’s dismay. He doesn’t really like it and pointed out that I had it on our last tour. I guess I may have to retire it.

I'm thinking that shirt didn't go for the ride.....a change of wardrobe was waiting for you at the finish :).

That's a tie between Goat's milk and Organic fertilizer odor!! :) I can't come up with anything better. Maybe too much coffee in the mix 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for the time invested in the journal, L & K - I enjoyed following your tour through areas new and old to me. A good introduction for me to the CB culture!

Mostly I thought it would be an unpleasant surprise i a chocolate shake.
