Interim Post - Yes, I'm still alive and pedaling!!!!

Hi TEAM JEAN - Yes, I am alive and I've completed every ride every day so far (we are now in Baker City, OR). This is just an interim posting - I have either been without internet access or (more likely) way too tired to post anything. We've had two of the most grueling days of the entire trip and I have been pretty exhausted.

An update on my knee.... My bike saddle was lowered a millimeter and I took ibuprophen and iced it one night and it has been great ever since.

If we get in to Ontario, OR early enough tomorrow and I have internet access, I hope to post several entries and get back up to date.

Thanks for all of the comments - at times, they do keep me going up those big climbs.

If you want to read more info about this trip, our trip leader, Mike Munk, has a website where he is keeping a daily journal with photos and he's more up to date than I am. His website is: bamacyclist.com. Once there, click on "Across America Ride Journals", and then click on "Cross Country North 2007".

Hurray Jean--You had us worried! The suspense of your knee was killing us! It was like waiting anxiously for the paper to read another installment in a series of articles, only to have the delivery person fail to show up!

--Glad you're still out there!
