DAY 67: Progress!
June 25th, 200906/25/09: 214.6
Getting closer and closer each day. Tomorrow I go in for my first massage ever. I hope they actually rub a couple pounds away too. (Ha Ha… but it’s kind of gross if you really think about it!)
DAY 64: Back to the Grind
June 22nd, 200906/22/09: 216.2
Well with the ride last week, I didn’t lose all that much. Which may sound odd at first, but you end up eating a lot. You eat a lot because you’re working hard and hungry, but also because you don’t want to crash physically while pedaling! It probably didn’t help at all that the two days after I got back were complete cheating, off-the-wagon days. I went to spin this morning so I’m back in the rhythm. I just need to watch my intake.
However, 216.2 is the lightest I’ve weighed since 2003 (ugh, I know). That and I would have to say that I’m at the peak of my physical condition too. Besides that I’ve lost about and 1 1/2 around my waist… no to shabby.
64 days in, almost 17 pounds gone, and a whole lot of strengthening and toning going on. Have to keep it honest on the eating if I’m going to ride my way back to 205 by July 12th. Slowly getting there.
TOURING: The Finale!
June 19th, 2009
TODAY’S RIDE STATS | 56 MILES | STAGE: EASY
We made it! The last leg went by fast… Half Moon Bay to Santa Cruz. We arrived pretty early in the AM, got lunch, met Scott Estes (who was nice enough to come and pick us up!) and then we drove home. Andy Steelman has to be at a wedding rehearsal tonight– crazy I know!
What a great trip. So many stories, so many that won’t get told; ha ha! We rode a grand total of:
- Miles: 360
- Days: 6
- Time: 27 + hours in the saddle!
It’s been one great and tiring adventure for the STUTZ Cycling Tours, Inc. (which is not an official Inc. at all, but we are hoping for a government bailout!). Tour of California, part one is finished. Someday the Tour, part 2 will go from Santa Cruz to San Diego!
For more stories, just ask us… I’m going to take a big nap!

TOURING: Day 5
June 18th, 2009
TODAY’S RIDE STATS | 59 MILES | STAGE: DIFFICULT
Samuel P. Taylor State Park to Half Moon Bay State Beach
Wow! Riding through San Francisco was as about as stressful (if not more) than driving through it! What a tough ride; windy on that bridge too! We are so tired! We were all glad for the campground tonight! It’s a bit chilly here and I’m actually enjoying it. Tomorrow is our last leg… and we just might be on our last leg physically too (lol!).

TOURING: Day 4
June 17th, 2009
TODAY’S RIDE STATS | 42 MILES | STAGE: EASY
Imagine us here… and it’ll be like you’re with us; except for you haven’t pedaled all that much or slept on hard ground– ha ha!
Today was both a leisure pace and ride. Tomorrow is quite a stretch and a bit of site-seeing, leg resting, and napping was in order! Can’t believe we are more than half way through this trip already.
