So, what is a typical day like on a bike tour? Usually we get up at 5 am, eat breakast (oatmeal, dried fruit, granola bars etc.) and pack up the tent and our bags. We load our bags on one of the trucks, fill up water bottles and get rolling between 6 and 7. On this ride, we didn't have to take much with us, as there were excellent aid stations about every 20 miles. They provided fresh fruit, pastries, pb&j sandwiches, water, gatorade and other snacks.
Usually we finished up our ride between 1 and 3 in the afternoon. After setting up the tent and Mom's stuff in the gym (see photos of tent city and gym city) we get cleaned up and explore the town and look for a good place to have dinner. Then mabe some dessert and then it is time to pack up and turn in (usually by 9 pm, so we can get up early to do it all again.
