Few Words About 1000 Mile Ride

Now that we are back to warm South Florida it is time to reflect upon our journey, people we have met, places we have visited, things we've learned. It was a great learning experience.

Seeing America so different from the one we are used to is a very eye opening and spiritual experience. We would recommend everyone to retrace our rout.

This country is so beautiful and unique.  Places like Arizona and Nevada offer mountains and deserts and canyons and forests... just an overwhelming variety of breathtaking landscapes.

We watched Rashad Evans fight in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand and kick Chael Sonnen’s ass.

Everywhere we went we met nice people. We would like to name everyone by name but the list would be too long. Special thanks to Carl Blum who not only organized our first photo shoot but also helped us plan our rout and checked on us every day. Hillary from Days Inn in Kingman, Fran from Outpost Saloon, Pam, Jame Carney, Erica Allar, Karla from US Airways who helped us with our oversized luggage and many many others. Thank you all!

We want to thank our sponsors Graner Law, Jaco Clothing, FSA, Met-RX, Prologo, TRP, Schwalbe, Shimano, SRD Building Corp, Prachel Waterproofing and Restoration, Old Palm Title. Thank you for making this trip possible!

Our trip was a success. We have conquered miles of difficult roads, bad weather and ourselves. We have captured attention of thousands of people who followed our journey through our blog and learned of Dreams to Wheels charity. We hope all of you will keep them in mind and help them out every time you are upgrading your cycling equipment. Even used stuff will help the kids. Thanks!

Our Day in Las Vegas

What a long day it was! We started early with the ride to Red Rock Park. Tom and Cesar did some racing going up and down the hills on windy narrow roads. I had hard times keeping up with them in the van when they would go faster than 50mph at times. The scenery was absolutely mind blowing and we stopped here and there to take some pictures or simply marvel at the beauty of nature. Guys have been riding for six hours straight.

Then we went by Olive Garden and decided to support our sponsors Colavita and have lunch there. Manager and crew were happy to see the guys in spandex and gladly took pictures with Tom and Cesar.

Thank to our friends and sponsors from Jaco Clothing we got the impossible to get tickets to sold out UFC MMA figts at MGM Grand. That was the highlight of our night. We went to support our friend and Stradalli rider Rashad "Suga" Evans who easily won his fight by a knockout in the first round! Way to go Rashad! Once again you made us all proud.

Now we must try to get some sleep. First thing tomorrow morning we will ride across Las Vegas until we reach Hoover dam, and then we'll cross Colorado river and ride through the desert all the way to Kingman, AZ.
