Yes, I had great plans to wrap up this blog. My dad and I broke the Koga down and packaged it for shipping. That was too pricey ($245 through UPS) so I'll probably ebay the next bike at the final destination...or I'll have to begin and end the journey at my driveway. I will say that bike touring is addictive and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially those with questionable knee problems. I can speak with some authority on equipment choices and the realities of touring. If anyone's interested feel free to contact me with any questions.
I re-assembled the Koga and road tested it since my return. Temperatures are soaring here and outdoor exercise is limited to the very early morning hours. I also signed up for the Top of Utah marathon without considering how difficult summer training is here in southern Nevada. I didn't acclimate to this summer heat because of the bike trip and, although my wind is great, I can only manage 12 miles before the scorching heat grinds me to a stop.
Tracy competed in the Mrs. United States Pageant last week. Although she didn't bring home the national crown, she had another wonderful experience. She will continue her reign as Mrs. Nevada until May 08. The pageant information is on her blog and on the Pageant website listed on the links. The national Pageant should air on the Bravo channel some time in September.
