Day 7 - Scottsdale, AZ

A google earth look at tomorrows ride from Scottsdale to Payson, AZ. I am sure the riders are resting up today for the trek into the Mountains, specifically Mt. Ord, in checking the altitude map the highest I got was around 6,000 feet. I may be wrong and it may be higher or lower, I'm sure the bikers will let me know tomorow night.

This map gives more idea of what the bikers are up against, check it out.

Just in case you want to know, I am having a great time here in beautiful downtown, Berville, just hanging out, eating a whole Egg Custard Pie (homemade) and keeping the blog with Tony's travels up do date. Couldn't ask for a better life.

Looks like tomorrow will be a challenge for the riders. Up until now they seem to have found the 50 mile days sort of easy(?). I echo your son's comment, "Boy, am I jealous".

August 8 The End of a Perfect Ride!

Thanks for hanging in there for Tony, he made the Atlantic and dipped his front tire into the water. The bikers were overjoyed to be at the finish line, but this is just the beginning of a lifelong commitment for them to help others and spread the word! Final statistics for Tony’s bike trip across America Total days: 56 Total biking days: 45 Average miles per day: 75 Total miles: 3322 Less truck driving days and breakdowns (broken spokes, etc): 404 Miles biked by Tony: 3017 (probably among the top 3) Total broken spokes by Tony: 5 Total broken spokes by everyone else: 0 Total flats by Tony: about 13 Total flats by everyone else: unknown – one person only had 3 Total money raised to date: $5,088 which means somewhere in the Democratic Republic of the Congo an entire house will be built with the funds raised by my friends and relatives – THANK YOU!
