Todd: So, hello Terry, (Hello, Todd) Now Terry you do bicycle trips in America and you take long trips. Can you talk about the last bicycle trip you did?
Terry: OK, the last trip that I did in the summer, I started in Vancouver, British Columbia and rode down the West Coast to San Diego. It took about six weeks to do that.
Todd: Wow, so you started in (Vancouver) Vancouver and you went all the way down to San Diego. (Right) How far is that? How many miles?
Terry: Ah, depending on the route 1 that you take, it's about 1800 miles, give or take.
Todd: Man, so do you train before you do this?
Terry: Actually no. For this particular trip I didn't do any training. I just started out in, once, I took the bus from Salt Lake City up to Vancouver and got to the bus station in Vancouver and put my bicycle together, put the gear 2 on the bicycle. On the first day I rode, I only rode 25 miles and then I slowly increased the miles. So I guess it's kind of training as you go.
Todd: Man, that's incredible 3. Now, is this the first bicycle trip you've ever done?
Terry: No, I've actually done five, I don't know, I've probably done four or five long trips in the United 4 States.
Todd: Man, that's, do you always go along the West Coast?
Terry: No, no, I've, originally 5, my first long trip was with a non-profit organization out of the United States -- Adventure Cycling, and we cycled the Trans-America trail 6, as it's know. It goes from Yorktown, Virginia to Astoria, Oregon. That was a three month self contained camping trip with a group of about 13 people.
Todd: Wow, and you rode all the way from Virginia on the East Coast to Oregon on the West Coast. (Right) and how many miles was that?
Terry: Um, it's about 4,300 miles.
Todd: Oh,that's a long way. Wow!
Terry: But you just, it's like eating an elephant one bite at a time. One day at a time. Wow, that's cool.
Todd: All right, thanks. We'll talk more about your bicycle trip, but thanks Terri.
Terry: Sure.
