This may be harder than I expected…
Of course, the title of this post is refering to blogging and twittering and flickring this ride, not the ride itself. While the ride will be no walk-in-the-park, I wasn’t expecting it to be.
No… documenting this ride in words and pictures promises to be challenging for several reasons:
Anyway… Recapping and embelishing on Twitter: I was terrified by the “hill” I had to drive over to get here. Turns out tomorrow starts with us ascending to and crossing the Eastern Continental Divide at about 3 miles into the ride. :/ Also had a complete sandal failure and had to buy new ones in town (see the Twitter feed for the gory details.)
I have figured out getting photos to Flickr from this thing. You can see any photos I take and post here: http://flickr.com/photos/straffin/tags/cnc2008/. Currently featured: a picture of my new sandals!
Look for more interesting pics tomorrow.
G’night…
