Some Pics from the Trip
Here are some photos from Dee's trip. They were taken by one of her fellow riders, a gentleman named Herb Lee. Dee has mailed me a memory chip from her camera so I will be able to post them once it arrives. I haven't asked Herb's permission to use these pics so I'm hoping he won't mind. They convey a neat sense of the scenery they are biking through and I thought you'd enjoy supplementing your mental pictures with some actual photos. I believe Dee and the group have made it into the state of Texas today. So three states down and five more to go although crossing Texas represents almost a third of the entire trip. I'm hoping Dee will have another post on the blog soon. Take care, Rob.

Thanks for posting these dad! Cool pics....it's great to get an idea of what the road and the group are like. Mom looks so tan!!! Can't wait to see more when the chip arrives!
Dee,
You are doing a fabulous job on that bike.--flats and all!!! Blog is great! We visualize you in that beautiful scenery peddling away!!! You & Rob have us wanting to ride into the sunset with you.
Congrats on your accomplishments thus far. You go girl!!!
Love & Prayers,
Pat & Karen
HI Dee, All the girls at Curves send love and good wishes! They love your postcards and I got some photos up so they can see how its going! Hardly 5 minutes goes by without someone asking about how your doing! They want you to be careful, eat all the things you never let them talk about at Curves and enjoy the ride!
Love from all of the gals at Curves!!!
and me too! :)
Hi Dee,
On Monday, I flew from San Diego to Phoenix, probably along the same route you took several weeks ago. There was nothing but desert the entire time and I thought about you riding your bike all that way. It gave me a real understanding of what it is you are doing. Of course, that is ancient history to you now that you have crossed the mountains of New Mexico. I am glad that you can keep smiling (or is that just for the camera) after all of that. It seems that things will flatten out a bit in Texas. I hope it won't be too boring now that you are an accomplished climber.
Keep up the great work!

Great photos -- Thanks Rob (and Herb).
Dee looks terrific. That woman does know how to find the sun. . . and hot tubs!
Hope you all are well.

Love the pictures but that road looks so steep - even in pictures! But then you know me - if its not flat and rails to trails - forget it. Enjoy Texas.

Thanks for the pics Rob...it's great to see the group and the roads our girl is riding. Looking on the blog site and following their progress is part of our daily routine now. More and more I find myself envisioning how the ride is going. Now we really have a picture to think about.
You look great Dee. Smiling as usual.
Great big hug, Shar
The description of your trip is truly inspirational. Our topic at WW today was activity! What an amazing meeting you could lead! I can't wait to read more. Have a safe trip and I look forward to a personal accounting when you get back to the 8am meeting. susan
Dee, I knew you would do fine, but I didn't know how difficult it would be. My daughter Julie, rode the Continental Divide Trail several years ago by herself.So,Rob I know what it's like to worry about a loved one. She started on the border with Canada but quit after taking a break to vist us in Colorado. I've just finished reading the blogs and comments and all I can is you are an inspiration Dee and what a fan club! We've just gotten home, but I'm looking forward to following your progress. Many years ago, I drove 18 hours from Dallas to Flagstaff with the girls. I remember the beautiful canyons, but I can't imagine riding a bike across that distance. Your blogs full of funny stories, positive attitude,and courage are a joy to read. have fun! Jean
Hi Dee,
Well I just THOUGHT you were awesome, now I KNOW!! Those pics are great. See..I wouldn't even want to drive a car through there by myself. Those bikes loaded with all that stuff..and the winding uphill..and the long roads with nothing around. You guys are amazing. God bless all of you, stay safe.
Love you,
Linda T
PS Thanks for pics Rob, really helps!
Dee,Your trip looks like a fantastic time! We thouhgt of you this morning at ww and can't wait to hear more on your trip when you return. I am going to bring is some of your blog info for the others to see. John
Dee, It's just absolutely amazing what you are accomplishing!! Especially after seeing the pics. Changing tires and bike chains and biking the deserts and mountains day after day!!! Such awesome sights, people and experiences. I know you are treasuring every minute. You are a beautiful inspiration to all. You go girl!! Hope you find another hot tub to enjoy!! Denise
My Ironman daughter said to tell you that after you accomplish this trip, you will feel like you will be able to conquer anything that comes your way in the future. This is something no one can ever take away from you. Love, thoughts and prayers to you. Hugs, Carole H
