Well done to both of them for an amazing achievement!<br /><br />And what beautiful scenery... an added bonus to catch a glimpse of some of that, snow and all.kendaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10085858988070461010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-1791217473295585572010-09-14T16:22:05.186-06:002010-09-14T16:22:05.186-06:00How could they not have some handsome legs?

I cycled once - very long ago - an experience I would rather not mull over. I didn't get very far - I think I did about 50 km and then my boyfriend put me on the train back. Needless to say that relationship didn't last very long.Anairamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626269831496499230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-12566337793042076382010-09-14T08:56:38.963-06:002010-09-14T08:56:38.963-06:00You're a brave mom.

You live is such a beautiful area. <br />More and more I feel that i would love to spend some time in the States to see places just like this and others that i have been introduced through blogland; years ago i had stop overs in Miami (Fort Lauderdale)and San Francisco which I enjoyed but I want to see the 'real' America, the country areas as well. Besides I had an American ancestor and that makes me part American doesn't it - even if he came to NZ in the 1860's ;-)<br />Thanks for visiting my blog and for you lovely comments. By the way, I am only a 'wannabe' watercolourist,not a real artist.Marilyn & Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851884880790561276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-49547220374241069182010-09-13T12:57:51.090-06:002010-09-13T12:57:51.090-06:00Wow, incredible- and ya, I see all the snow!!

He's got legs - he knows how to use them!AND he is gorgeous...ahhh youth. <br />My son went to Portland today in a car and I am all nervous- you hold up very well, Leenie.

It was mentioned in the weather forecast at the weekend that there might be some snow on high ground up in the Highlands, but it should be some months before we see any here. I can't imagine cycling on those roads - well done to your boys (and all the other participants). To compare distances, Scotland is five hundred and something miles from top to bottom!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-25588748678333960642010-09-12T22:07:50.148-06:002010-09-12T22:07:50.148-06:00How exciting for me to see your photos!

Bought back memories of this Aussie visiting Wyoming over thirty years ago with it's beautiful scenery, although I now know the name of those wonderful Grand Teton Mountains thanks to you. Husband will be able to relate to this post with nostalgia as he can no longer do these sort of rides. Congratulations to all on a magnificent effort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
