I don&#8217;t remember why. I just loved being out on the road and cranking out the miles. In 1998, I rode my first organized ride, a two-day MS 150 Bike Tour in California. The next year I did my first century (100 miles in one day). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">When we moved the family back to our home state of North Carolina, I formed a friends and family team for for Bike MS: Historic New Bern, and it&#8217;s been an annual traditional since 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Along the way, I took a stab at self-supported bike touring and loved it! That&#8217;s when I put a cross-country bike ride on my bucket list. For more than twenty years, it&#8217;s been the only thing on my bucket list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">This is the year I check it off my list! I&#8217;ll be riding from Bar Harbor, Maine to Anacortes, Washington. I&#8217;ll miss training with the Missing Spokes this year, but I&#8217;ll be riding with them in spirit on September 9 and 10, just one day before I complete my ride and dip my front tire in the Pacific Ocean. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m calling this two-wheel adventure my longest Bike MS training ride ever! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-small-font-size\">It&#8217;s going to be an epic ride!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"97\" src=\"http:\/\/104-128-66-57.cloud-xip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JungleBloom-1024x97.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lizventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JungleBloom-1024x97.png 1024w, https:\/\/lizventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JungleBloom-300x28.png 300w, https:\/\/lizventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JungleBloom-768x73.png 768w, https:\/\/lizventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JungleBloom-1536x146.png 1536w, https:\/\/lizventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/JungleBloom.png 1927w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started riding recreationally when I was in high school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-35","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lizventure.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/35","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lizventure.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lizventure.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lizventure.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lizventure.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/lizventure.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/35\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":592,"href":"https:\/\/lizventure.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/35\/revisions\/592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lizventure.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
