This final week is going to be a week of going over our gear and supply list and checking it twice if not three times. We fly out Sunday to Las Vegas. We will rent a car and drive to Cedar City. Along the way we will take in the beautiful sights of Zion National Park. I had the amazing opportunity to ride through Zion on my 2008 GTD ride.
Once in Cedar City we will set up camp at a KOA. The staff at the Cedar City KOA has been super. Monday morning we will reassemble our bikes and give them a test ride. After that we will enjoy Starbucks for the last time in a week then pick up any last minute supplies at Wal Mart. The rest of the day will be spent organizing and packing our gear. Tuesday morning we will break down camp, pack up and start pedaling to Panaca, NV. We will be camping out at the beautiful Cathedral Gorge State Park. I can't wait to send some pictures!
That's it for now. bob g.

They're Gone!
On Thursday I packed up my B.O.B. Trailer and sent it off to the KOA in Cedar City, UT. Yesterday Ben and I picked up our broken down and boxed up bikes from Chain Reaction and sent them off to the KOA as well. This intensified the realization that we are very close to heading out west to begin our Go the Distance...Again! fundraising bike ride for the Christian Campus House.
We will actually begin riding Tuesday morning May 4. From Cedar City we will head west to Panaca, NV then on to Eureka, NV, Carson City, NV, Folsom, CA, San Francisco, CA and down the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu, CA. After Malibu we climb up and over the Santa Monica Mountains to Woodland Hills, CA. There we will meet up and stay with long distance cyclists Jim and Bren Wagoner.
It's going to be an amazing journey. We will be able to get in the Word, pedal and pray alot as we cover the 1300 miles. Ben will be uploading some ride footage along the way, I will let you know where to find it. I will be posting pictures and updates on my blog so check back from time to time to see what we've seen and read about our experiences.
God bless! bob g.
