They do take good care of you when off the bike...as for the route, it can be pretty burly in spots. Plenty of hiking to be had, especially day 2 last year LOL. Plenty adventure, but somewhat controlled since it's not self-support.Dave Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199180181304602551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-65444029845642536842009-08-18T14:08:24.774-06:002009-08-18T14:08:24.774-06:00Kia ora Jill,

I'm in better shape for running right now than I am for cycling, because I've only been out for a couple handfuls of shorter rides since I came home from the Lower 48 over a month ago.<br /><br />Sara - regarding running in the rain, I've never noticed that, but it's probably because of the deluge falling from the sky. I always return from rain run/rides as soaked as I would have been if I jumped in a lake, head to toe.<br /><br />Anon, definitely agree on the clipless pedals. I just have to find a pair that don't make my frostbite toes feel like they're being pressed in a vice (stiff shoes = ouch.) But since winter is coming, and I have more things to worry about with my frostbite toes, I'll deal with that as summer approaches.<br /><br />I hope I can find a way to balance "real" training with all the things I like to do and places I like to go on a bike. If I can't, "training" will lose out, every time.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-49267215918603150002009-08-18T10:45:07.561-06:002009-08-18T10:45:07.561-06:00To achieve your athletic goals your gonna have to ...To achieve your athletic goals your gonna have to rock some clipless pedals - way more efficient and the stiffer shoes, as compared to your sneakers, may help your achilles too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-78038834194251965192009-08-18T10:41:12.018-06:002009-08-18T10:41:12.018-06:00Have you seen this snow bike:

Whenever I go for a run in the rain, I end up with rainwater from my sneakers soaking my butt, the back of my thighs and calves. I'm hoping I'm not the only one?Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-41707285647608429362009-08-18T09:05:02.691-06:002009-08-18T09:05:02.691-06:00Agree with both Missy and Slow.
