Apparently some people have been asking my dad what I look like without the glasses and helmet. There you go!
Most people, it seems, do this trip with fewer rest days. I feel like if I kept going for that long I would be asking for injury. I know from running that you've got to take at least one day off a week or you'll suffer from injury or overtraining. I can't imagine it would be much different with cycling. Admitedly I know next to nothing about the details and it's a small sample size, but with that group I rode with for two days, two of them were wearing knee braces and one I didn't meet had bailed due to knee problems. They were going on 2.5 weeks without a rest.
Anywho, 2407 miles left (1674 so far). 52.3 mi/day to Aug 1 (down from 53.2). 45.4 mi/day to Aug 7 (down from 47)
I can't believe I'm not even halfway there!
You look as good as ever. The previous scenery photo is beautiful. Hope you solved the tire problem and are enjoying the trip, despite the pitfalls.
