Fat Mom Across America: One Week In


Yesterday and today, I've continued riding along Route 30 in Oregon. The trees are tall and thick and there are some pretty serious hills along the way.


There are a lot of logging trucks on the road, which makes sense when you look at the surroundings!



I ended up biking 3.7 miles, then another 2.1 miles for a total of 5.8 miles through the forested hills yesterday.

Today was busy. I am an active volunteer in animal rescue, and today it took up my entire morning and afternoon. But in the early evening, I managed to take two rides, 4.1 miles and 2.5 miles, and rode through two small towns: Westport and Woodson, Oregon. The terrain flattened out a bit and instead of all the hills and mountains, there were some lovely fields and this rustic old barn.


I also got a unique invitation along the road: Eat Jesus Christ. Tuesday at 6 pm. Ok, I will remember that...


Today's 6.6 miles brought my total for Week 1 to 48.1 miles biked. Here is a map of my progress so far over the past 7 days. Every green circle is a spot when I stopped biking, whether to loosen the pedal straps, let my feet rest a minute, or take a longer break to have lunch.


I'm moving along, and I am proud of what I've done so far. This is something I enjoy and I am so glad I got started! Thank you for the support. Heading to bed; I have more biking to do tomorrow!
