http://georgemetzler.blogspot.com/2007_06_03_archive.html
George's Cross Country Bike Ride. Saturday, June 9, 2007. Arrival in San Diego. I arrived on time in San Diego with my luggage and bicycle intact. So far I'm 3 for 3. I put my bike together as soon as I arrived this morning and I rode to the beach with another PAC Tour rider Harold Trease. Harold has spent the last 7 summers at this time of year officiating the Race Across America. I expect this will be a real change for him. Sunday, June 3, 2007. Cross Country schedule and links. Welcome to my blog that...

George's Cross Country Bike Ride. Saturday, June 16, 2007. Day 7 Roswell, NM to Hereford, TX. 164 miles today and the RAAM. Qualifier dream is alive. Today is the seventh day of our tour and the effects of six hard days of riding were showing this morning. Cyclist's moved a bit slower and were a little quieter at breakfast. Once we left the hotel parking lot the the order of the day was pretty much Git-R-Done. The scenery. A bit of explanation. Is also doing this ride and for the last week I haven't seen...

George's Cross Country Bike Ride: Day 15 Camden, AL to Eufaulo, AL
http://georgemetzler.blogspot.com/2007/06/day-15-camden-al-to-eufaulo-al.html
George's Cross Country Bike Ride. Sunday, June 24, 2007. Day 15 Camden, AL to Eufaulo, AL. Day 15 is in the can, and we have just two days to go. It is hard to believe that just two weeks ago we were in San Diego, CA. At that time I knew about three people on this ride. After an intense two weeks we recognize each other in the distance solely. By how we pedal the bike. Learned a lot from the other cyclists on this trip. It was weary 152 miles today mostly due to the three H's. Tendon is fine. I need ...

George's Cross Country Bike Ride. Monday, June 25, 2007. Day 16 Eufaulo, AL to Dublin, GA. For 16 days the real world has been held at bay. I haven't been to work, seen my family, or went to Church. My biggest responsibility each day is to get my bag packed and loaded into the Pac. Tour trailer within a 10 minute time slot. It was a great day to be on the bike, good riding buddies, no rain, and no crashes. Qualifier dream remains alive! If you get this before Tue.'s ride, Go Get Em! I have really enjoyed...

George's Cross Country Bike Ride. Friday, June 22, 2007. Day 13 Batesville, MS to Forest, MS. Lon taped up my ankle again this morning and I was good to go all day. The tape takes all the stress away from the achillies. Tendon. I can't walk very well but I sure can ride again. I saw a motorcycle. Excellent support again from the PAC Tour staff and crew members as we deal with the heat and humidity. So far so good. See you all tomorrow. Do you not know? Have you not heard? June 23, 2007 at 7:39 AM. Day 12...

George's Cross Country Bike Ride: 6/17/07 - 6/24/07
http://georgemetzler.blogspot.com/2007_06_17_archive.html
George's Cross Country Bike Ride. Saturday, June 23, 2007. Day 14 Forest,MS to Camden, MS. What is it like to ride an average of 170 miles everyday for 17 days? I don't know because I only ride from one sag stop to the next. About every 20 to 35 miles we get to stop and get treats. So I never start out the day thinking that I'm going to ride 170 miles. I just look at my Que sheet and look for an asterisk next to a mileage number, that means goodies for George! My friend Eric posted a really cool passage ...
