This week was a good one with short rides in the beginning and a nice longer somewhat hilly(for FL) ride on Saturday. It is good to have Derek riding regular now that basketball is over. We had a cool (temps in the 40's) ride up into horse country covering 60 miles and over 1700 feet of climbing. We had strong headwinds(12 -18mph) for the first 30 miles and still averaged 16.5 mph.
We enjoy the varying terrain we have to train in. Even the temps and wind are things that will make us ready to face the varied conditions of crossing the continent.
It looks like our local paper wants to do an online video journal as well. They are planning to provide us with video camera and "air card" to provide wireless Internet. That will be a complement to this site.

Hi--I'm doing the Cross Country Tour this summer through ABB so your blog is inspiring me to get out and train harder! I'm from Ocala as well.. and Bernice used to be my Bible study leader when I was a senior in high school. I saw her pic on the 2006 "Meet the Riders" page of the ABB website..It's a small world after all:) I'll be riding about the same time as you (we leave June 2 from San Fran) so I'll be thinking about you guys. Go Team Miller!
Derek - I didn't think they made polka dot jerseys for tall guys. Aren't they for little guys who can climb real fast? Maybe you should give it to your brother. I'd hate to see an older guy like Clarence pass you when you're wearing that jersey.
