Biking Helps You Avoid Getting Sick, Right?

Here we are, well into March, and I haven’t been out on the bike yet this month. Weather, as I mentioned in the last post, has been terrible. And on Friday, when we finally had sunny, dry — if chilly — conditions, I came down with something.
What started as a tickle in the throat Thursday blossomed into a full-blown sore throat and …

Getting Ready, Training, Planning: Finalizing, Training and Prepping – Hope Spring Weather Comes Soon
Thursday March 5, 2015
Hello everyone,
Well this is planned to be my third tour on my Surly Disc Trucker that I purchased in late 2013. It will be my first fully loaded, self supported tour.
My two previous tours are on CGOAB and can be accessed if you click my name above and scroll to the bottom of the page.
I’m also on Facebook and have a Cycling Group on FB. Send me a friend request if desired, I like to keep up with other cyclists all over the world. More info can be found on my how to contact page by clicking my name above.
As of this date we have six riders/friends who are going on the tour. Mike and Michael along with myself from the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) of South TX. Steve from Houston and Randall and Nathan from the Austin area.
This tour is really the brainchild of Randall. He did all the route planning and logistics so we are going to find out how good he is, just joking!
Current plans are seven days of riding and camping with lots of climbing, so we’ll see how we do. Since the winter has been so cold and wet the wildflowers in the hill country this year are likely to be outstanding, hope so. We are …

Overall Route: Current Planned Route – Start NW of Austin, TX
Friday March 6, 2015
We’re a little over a month away from our planned tour. Training rides continue in preparation although I have some additional equipment to get.
I need some new tires, will be going with 622-37 on my Surley Disc trucker to replace the 622-32 tires I currently have. Want a little wider to smooth out the ride some. Also need to buy a new handlebar bag since mine is really not a bike bag but a rigged camera bag.
Will also be getting a summer sleeping bag to reduce weight and to use instead of my 20F sleeping bag.
Here is a map of our overall route as …
