How could I miss my targets?

  • Excessive time at gas station stops
    • lines at the pump
  • Unplanned stops
    • bathroom/fatigue breaks
  • Disagreements with Law Enforcement
    • This is a marathon, not a sprint
    • Excessive speed is fatiguing and dangerous

How can I make up time?

  • pack plenty of water and snacks so I don’t spend time waiting for cashiers in minimarts or fast food joints
  • careful application of forward momentum (5-10mph over posted limits, which is what Google uses for time estimates)

Notes

Dear Kerri - it is ok to stop if you’re tired. Love, Kerri

There’s lots of opportunities to “pull the plug” if we’re too exhausted to continue. On the return leg, the Tri-Cities is about equal to our longest ride to date (770 miles, SF to Olympia.)
