I thought I would post yesterday’s ride as an example of my training schedule at this stage. Also it is a test of posting an update from my phone, using a bluetooth keypad as this is how I hope to provide updates in journey.

This ride was a combination of paved path (first 40 km) and off road mud and gravel path (last 20 km). Also I was riding my older, hybrid,bike which I believe is a little heavier that our rental and I have equipped it with panniers loaded up tp 20lb to be similar to what we will be carryitng on the trip.

The images are recorded using the app mapmyride to provide a map of the route and an elevation profile. I hope to post similar images for each day of the trip.
