Rogers2Malibu - Day #1

The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Or, in our case, the journey of 1,678 miles from Rogers to Malibu begins at World Gym in Lowell! Today, we rode 34 miles on the stationary bikes as our adventure takes us across the country over the next two months. The 34 miles represents the distance from Rogers to Siloam Springs, home of 90.9 KLRC and a really cool historic downtown area.

For our first day, the mileage might have been a bit ... well ... ambitious! Especially for Bret's 45 year old legs! Nonetheless, we finished and are looking forward to riding from Siloam Springs to Locust Grove, Oklahoma tomorrow. 39 miles. Yeah. We did learn that for long rides like these that we need to bring some snacks.

As we were in the last few miles of the ride, we received word that the River Valley Leader ran a story about the ride! Too cool! And we had friends in Colorado and Arkansas who told us they rode with us!

If you want to get involved in the ride, check out all the details at #Rogers2Malibu.


World Gym is hosting the ride at their locations. We rode at the Lowell location today.
Jarod gives the thumbs up after finishing!
Bret's working hard to get in those last few miles!
