Day 66 - End of the Road in Rural Retreat

Today's ride ended much differently than I thought it would when I started cycling from the Pioneer Family campground in the morning. This is a big emotional day for me. I am completely exhausted from not sleeping well while camping and riding on roads with no shoulder. The smoke from the wildfires is also affecting my health. I had been thinking about ending the tour for the last few days and today was the day. This Moto-Myrtle tour has been an incredible experience. Having everyone's support and enthusiasm all along the way was, for sure, the best aspect of my tour. I'll be doing more videos talking about lots of different topics from the tour such as how my body, gear, trike, and e-assist handled the miles. Thanks for following along!!

This channel is about all things trikes and travel. I have been riding a recumbent trike since 2005 and have been touring since 2007 all over the world. I have toured on 6 continents, in over 20 countries and cycled more than 100,000 miles. In 2020, I shifted from solo trike touring to solo RV travel. After completing a cross country solo trike ride am I now switching back to looking for primo spots and trails to ride my trike.

On this channel I have gear reviews, tips and tutorials but, mostly, I produce short travelogue type videos of my tours and rides as I go. I travel with a DJI Action 3, Insta360 One X2, Skydio 2 drone, DJI Mini Pro 3 and an iphone. Thanks for subscribing and following along!

I also have an extensive journal on Blogger that goes into much more detail about the area and the emotional ups and down. The blog has a link to Garmin stats and a map of every day's ride. There are also a ton of pictures. You can find it following this link:
