My mom and I were talking on the phone yesterday, laughing about me probably having to do some multi-tasking. For as many miles and hours that I'll need to ride, I'll have to be doing something else at the same time. Something like biking and sewing.
While I didn't bike and sew at the same time today, I did bike and fold a couple loads of laundry. I don't think my husband was all too pleased that he had to hand me the items. I just couldn't figure out how to take things out of the basket, fold/hang them and return them to the basket, all while trying to balance the basket on my lap. That multi-tasking - and plenty of miles - wore me out so much today that as soon as I came upstairs I took a nap. I was darn tired!
But thanks to multi-tasking like that, in two days I've covered 33 miles so far. I was only planning on biking 11 miles to get myself to Homedale, Idaho but it seems I overshot it. So no story on Homedale, just a pic I took on my way to work the other day.
Next stop, a roadside attraction outside of Juntura, Oregon some 80 miles down the road from Homedale. Might be a while for me to get there. Or, if I can figure a way to sew and ride, maybe not.
I love going on this "road trip" with you! - Lisa
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Love your idea- we get to go along with you on your journey!
ReplyDeleteTake it easy on those pedals - you have a whole year to get where you're going... Have you calculated the milage to figure out an average per day?
ReplyDeleteYou need an engineer who can hitch your bike to your sewing machine so that it runs on 'bike power', a high table to fit over the handle bars to put your machine on & you're good to go! LOL
An engineer is exactly what I need. As for mileage, I'm doing a minimum 15 miles a day. We'll see what wears out first, me or the bike!
