Paige's Commute Test Run

Paige commutes to work on a Sunday to see what a daily commute would have in store for her. The lesson learned? Anything can happen.

Debbie reports back . . .

We meet 100 miles

Today we reach the 100 mile mark in our training. We talk about gel bike shorts, the hazzards of bugs, and the convenience of the Camelbak.

**Please note that while riding home in the dark we both used flashing safety lights on our Camelbaks (there's a tab attached especially for this purpose). Nice.

Day #3 – We Venture to Discovery Park

Don't worry, folks. We probably won't post videos for every training we do, but we will document the beginning of our journey. We know we have a long way to go and we want to look back and know we have accomplished something.

We do believe Average Janes can do extraordinary things.

Getting schooled by a 5 year-old

On day two we rode 18.54 miles, ate lunch, and stopped in for some fresh squeezed lemonade. It was a great day. (Sounds rough, doesn't it?)

In our travels, what seemed like a pretty noneventful day in the beginning turned out to be a true test of courage. Play the video below for details.




Wouldn't it be amazing if we all had the courage of a 5 year-old? How different life would be. What would you do if you had no fear?

**For the record, Paige was too chicken to ride down the hill. She is currently looking for her 5 year-old courage.
