Final Numbers
According to my GPS I rode a total of 2,824 miles, had an average speed of 8.1 mph, climbed a total of 221,454 feet, spent 347 hours on my bike, and crossed the Continental Divide approximately 29 times. I saw a lot of beautiful country, met people of all different walks of life, made a lot of memories, got some serious tan lines, and had a great time. I would like to do some more bike touring, but probably a route with a little less climbing. I'm tired of climbing. Maybe the Pacific Coast or around the Great Lakes might provide some interesting scenery without copious amounts of climbing. Thanks for reading and now I'm going to catch a plane and head back to the real world. Tootles.
