Cycling in the States

Alex and I took ourselves off for a fantastic two week holiday in the States - our 50th birthday present to each other. We hired a car and travelled around 1800 miles across California, Nevada and Arizona. I absolutely loved the whole experience (though, if I could do it again I’d by-pass Las Vegas...) and was often overwhelmed by the beautiful landscapes we were lucky enough to drive, sail, walk or cycle round, through or across. 

The first cycle (and walk) of the trip was one I’ll never, ever forget...


And, the same could be said for the last...


I think it's safe to say I had an 'awesome' time in America. And, it was just the perfect way to kick start my training for a certain other cycling trip, taking place on another continent, later this year...
