Lise and I left West Yellowstone on Sunday, June 22 around 11:00 a.m. and pedaled the 31 miles to Old Faithful, just in time to witness the afternoon geyser. Our lodging for the night was a cabin adjacent to Old Faithful.
Hey Gary - Billy and Pauline turned me onto your blog - pretty cool what you are doing. I will have to say that just reading about how much time you are spending in the saddle makes my ass hurt!!!!
Hey Gary and Lise! Pedal on dudes, you're doing great.
Gary, she might be too shy to tell you this, but Lise said she really trained up, so you can probably increase those daily miles and ascents. She told me she could take you on a hill any day of the week.
If you run into the buffalo again, remember to hum 'Buffalo Gals' softly as you pass. It almost hypnotizes them. Just remember softly...a little too loud and...well it's just not good.

Welcome to my blog site.
Hopefully from this site, you can track my cross-country bicycle adventure this summer.
The journey will begin on the coast of Oregon, near Astoria, in the town of Warrenton, Oregon. The adventure will end on the Atlantic Coast, via Warrenton, Virginia.
The launch date is set for June 1, 2008. The total mileage is 4000+ miles and should take me about ten weeks. I plan to average 70 miles per day, perhaps more on the plains of Kansas and definitely fewer over 11,000 foot Hoosier Pass. I hope to pedal east on Route 211, into Warrenton, around August 9, 2008.

Go Gary!
Nice pictures. Glad Lise was able to join you and you were able to take a break.
Hang in there, you're doing great.

Love you both. Have a great ride together.

"Buffalo Gals?" No way. How about "Wooly Bully?" Mr. Bill says, "Be sure to pet them a lot."
