We ended the ride at Twin Falls Idaho with 2941 miles. Peggi became sick. We talked about continueing but considering we were going to have to pedal through about 400 miles of mostly desert and the traffic clusterfudge of Salt Lake City we decided against it. It would have been difficult under the best of conditions. Peggi is OK now but was not OK enough at the time for that. After we left Twin Falls we drove on the road that we would have biked on had we continued and it was very intimidating. Not impossible, but extemely difficult. There was limited access to water, it was very hot and there were long distances between towns.
More details later.
Thanks for following our blog.
You had an adventure as it was with enough tough landscape to ride through. So glad you made the choice to end the trip early. When it is no longer fun, it is time to throw in the bicycle seat :-) Anxious to hear all about the "rest of the story" when you are home and recovered.
