Just got back from Squaw and I just registered for the Ride Across America trip. It's 3667 miles in 50 days.

The ride starts in Portland Oregon and ends in Portsmouth, NH. It's what I call a "credit card" tour -where you stay in hotels, eat in restaurants and the ride is fully supported by a SAG wagon and bike mechanic. No camping and no lugging stuff on my bike.
Now I need to focus on getting ready for the ride. While I rode over 3200 miles last summer, I have spent the last 100 days skiing at Squaw. Not quite the normal plan for getting ready for a long ride like this - but I did ski hard every day (Chute 75, Split Tree, Slot and other steep Squaw trails).
Priority 1...
So now I have 60 days to get my bike legs back. Hopefully Cape Cod weather will be supportive of my training effort - or it will be down to the basement for 2-3 hours of riding the old spin bike.
Priority 2....
Get my bike and gear in shape for the ride.
