I'm planning a Parkour themed road trip across America for part of this summer, but perhaps the second half of this summer I'll do a small multi-day bike trip somewhere. <BR/><BR/>Definitely sounds amazing! The countryside there is beautiful (But I'm sure you already knew that).Zachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439626402578258633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37058160.post-413006235366063932008-02-19T15:04:00.000+00:002008-02-19T15:04:00.000+00:00WOW the trip sounds amazing.

My body would never be able to stand up to that sort of thing at this stage.<BR/><BR/>The punctures thing really made me laugh. I cycle several miles to college and back everyday over various terrain and am always getting punctures but that was just madness. The lesson about checking the inside of the tire when changing the inner tube was probably the single most important thing I ever learnt about my bike. <BR/><BR/>Trip sounded amazing and congrats on completing it.<BR/>Kieran4564984680464https://www.blogger.com/profile/03070472425098724930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37058160.post-74949044581307415632008-02-19T04:02:00.000+00:002008-02-19T04:02:00.000+00:00Great adventure, thanks for putting it up for us t...Great adventure, thanks for putting it up for us to read!

I'm in the middle of marathon and ultramarathon training, pretty sure I'll only be walking most of the latter, and hoping I'll (be able to) push on like you did!

This is what makes life worth living.<BR/><BR/>Gutted about that bus now showing up. The same happened to us last year! Except we weren't lucky enough to catch a lift - we had to walk all the way along Pen-Y-Pass to the car park! It was a bloody long way along flat road, which is horrible at any rate, let alone after Snowdon.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading your journal. What're you thinking of going for next?

Then the good times of relief going downhill. sounded like the greatest journey to me. You really discribed it well enough to vision yourself being there. Those pictures were very nice too showing the difficulty. To cover that many miles cycling uphill the majority of the time is very impressive. respect to you and thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>JaredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37058160.post-72005735699917315612008-02-16T18:28:00.000+00:002008-02-16T18:28:00.000+00:00Well done guys!!Quite an adventure, and life being...Well done guys!!<BR/><BR/>Quite an adventure, and life being life it always has to be the hard way.<BR/><BR/>Lol at all those punctures and your brakes Blane. I cannot believe Halfords for doing that, gits!<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading your journey and viewing some excellent pics. The rock tower one looks like a scene from Lord of the Rings.<BR/><BR/>It has been a while since I have seen the Stars on a pitch black night, crap thing about city light pollution. :( But yes it is humbling.<BR/><BR/>Well done in seeing thru this challenge guys!<BR/><BR/>ZenoTraceurZenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765394890731025247noreply@blogger.com
