Now is the time since I not working at the moment. I have not been training, so I will start a indefinite tour staying close to home as I sort out the gear I need for hopefully a cross country in the near future. I will also use it for fitness training and figuring out this blog business. Please feel free to sign my guestbook(the is a tab at top of page). You do not need to sign up to CGOAB to sign guestbook. This blog is mainly for family to follow, but I am sure many other people will read my newbie journal. I hope to add some new things not seen before and maybe others that are thinking of touring will learn from my trip. I will be honest about the difficulties en route. Equipment and gear: Bike is a stock 60cm Surley LHT built for touring with max load rating of 350 lbs. I know nothing of the gears, etc. I did change out the handlebars for a more upright riding style since my old back doesn&#8217;t like drop handles. I also changed the seat to a &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 1-Laguna Park, Tx-Meridian State Park,TX: overweight, hills, T-storms<br \/>\nThursday April 16, 2015, 22 miles (35 km) &#8211; Total so far: 22 miles (35 km)<br \/>\nThis is my first attempt at touring. I left the house around 2:30 in afternoon for the short ride to nearby Meridian SP. Rain was forecast, but I headed out to beat it. Once on the road I realized I left my helmet on fencepost. I called Dad and drove it out to me. Later on a car did a U-turn and pulled over in front of me on shoulder, my first &#8220;road angel&#8221; only 10 miles on ride! It happened to be my Mom on her way home from grocery store. She gave me a couple of staples she had picked up. She also took an action shot of me riding. The ride was way harder than I imagined and I was way overweight with gear as most first timers can agree. I did not beat the &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 2-Meridian SP to Hamilton,TX: More hills and T-storms<br \/>\nFriday April 17, 2015, 33 miles (53 km) &#8211; Total so far: 55 miles (88 km)<br \/>\nHad a good night&#8217;s sleep. Took a short 20 minute hike to see the lake and facilities. It took about an 1.5 hour to break camp and load bike. I should be able to reduce the time to 1 hour easily. I had to push bike up a steep hill just to get out of park. I stopped and checked out with Ranger station and chatted for half hour. It was 9:45 before departing. I need to get earlier starts. I left park and headed west on state hwy 22. Immediately their was a huge 5-6% graded hill. My body did not want climb so early. I pushed the bike half the hill. Pushing at 2.5 mph didn&#8217;t hurt as much as pedaling at 3mph. It was a nice spring day, overcast, slight crosswind, temps expected to be high of 82. There terrain was rolling up and more so than I remember. I have driven these roads hundreds of times and I never remember these steep hills! My destination is to get Lampasas, TX on Saturday to meet up with family in large weekend rental home and the annual &#8230;<\/p>\n<hr align=\"left\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bicycle-stuff.com\/photo2015\/04-Aledo\/page.html\">Photos of the Aledo ride are posted<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>www.bicycle-stuff.com<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bicycle-stuff.com\/photo2015\/04-Aledo\/images\/Aledo-28.JPG?resize=641%2C481\" alt=\"\" width=\"641\" height=\"481\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bicycle-stuff.com\/photo2015\/04-Aledo\/images\/Aledo-59.JPG?resize=639%2C479\" alt=\"\" width=\"639\" height=\"479\" \/><\/p>\n<hr align=\"left\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/abc13.com\/hobbies\/bp-ms-150-riders-to-take-off-despite-weather-setbacks\/669644\/\">Thousands took part in BP MS 150 bike ride<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>KTRK\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0abc13.com\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0(Video)<\/h3>\n<p>LA GRANGE, TX (KTRK) &#8212; This weekend&#8217;s wet weather may have changed the route but not the goal of the BP MS 150.
