More Don Quotes from early on in the trip

Had a chance to talk to Don on the phone a few days after he left and below are some things he had to say:

"I'm having no problem keeping up with the crew....most of the group is retired in their late 50's to 60 years old. There's one guy who's 68 years old!"

"We've been riding between 6-8 hours a day and averaging 50-60 miles a day...this one day we only did 20 miles because of gnarly headwinds!" 

"There was 16 people in the group but this 1 guy had a drinking problem and got the boot (laughs)..he was cussing a bunch and the leader wasn't really feeling him. He tried to come back the next day and start riding again but the leader said no. I don't know where he is now..maybe following us?"
