Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Education Ride 365 Is Off And Rolling! Education Ride 365 began on January 1, 2012 and will end on December 31, 2012. The Cycle of Education will roll through 49 states and parts of Canada during this year-long tour. Most every day a blog post will be made, including GPS maps in Google Earth, photos, video, and commentary on education and travels. Most nights I will be staying at the homes of friends and family across our wide nation. I will spend between 1-3 nights at each stop. January will be spent in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.  Day one, January 1, was a measured start! Frisco, TX to Garland, TX...where I stayed with my brother Seth as final preparations for departure were made. Day two, January 2, was a bit more ambitious. The Cycle pulled out of Garland, TX early afternoon en route to Nacadoches, TX. In total I rode 195.3 miles on January 2nd. Total moving time was 4 hours, 12 minutes. Stopped time was 2:23. Moving average speed was 46.3 miles per hour. Max speed was 76. Overall average was 29.5 miles per hour! Road of the day: 110 between I-20 and Tyler, TX. After just entering Tyler and stopping at Starbucks, it was dark when I continued on 110, to 204, to 259. Those roads were probably just as nice (pine tree country), but it was deadly dark. I need to quit riding in deer country after dark. That is what I mean by deadly dark! My next post will probably be more interesting. In it I'll relate more details of the people and places I interacted with on Day 2!
