This morning I am writing out my agenda for the 1st Annual Velo Belle' Tour. Here's a quick break down. Petaluma, CA - Mendocino-Avenue of the Giants-Lost Coast-Arcata-Sunset Bay, OR - Gold Hill - Shasta, CA- Milpitas and then home. I'm pretty excited for this trip. My lil sister and I are going to bike as much as we can each day...I told her about 50 miles a day but I am secretly going to sabotage her bike computer so we can ride more each day. Besides the riding part the trip is going to be pretty posh. My sis and I are going to be well taken care of. We have a sweet support crew, my mother and grandparents. My grandparents have this awesome RV so we are going to travel in style everywhere we go. My mom will be in a car following us on our rides and she is our support crew, she will make sure we have food, adequate clothing, she'll cart around our mechanical stuff which I hope we figure out how to use. I am going to have to get her awesome books on tape...a lot of them. She will be doing this for 10 days. This is why I have to ride a lot in the next few weeks. Since my sister isn't riding at all I figure I better get as strong as possible so I can pull her along the coast of California and Oregon. I would like to clarify that this is a public attack on my sister’s commitment to her bike.
