    As I watched you struggle with the bike gears on your accent I started to wonder if you would make it to the lake and then I remembered that you are a six time gold medalist!
    Keep working and training Lisa.
    I can't wait to see your adventures in Iceland.
    Those drone shots are incredible and you are doing a fantastic job of editing and adding music to your UA-cam posts.
    Keep them coming.

      I did almost turn around when I couldn't stop the gear from clunking and couldn't get into the easiest gear... but I'm glad I pushed through because it was an accomplishment.
      Thank you so much for noticing my music and editing. I have certainly improved over the last year. My first videos were..... juvenile? I might actually be getting the hang of this UA-cam thing.

    I’m anxiously awaiting a new wheelchair, as I’ve been too cooped up since the end of June. I have to go through the whole ADP process again so hopefully 2025 I will have new wheels 🛞 👍🏻😁 at 77 I get an electric one. I’m so inspired by you & can’t wait for the fantastic videos of your Icelandic adventures 👍🏻🤗

    After watching your video, I’m blown away by your journey! Your resilience and determination are incredibly inspiring. Tackling 120 km a day in Iceland is going to be quite a task, but I have no doubt that your strength and perseverance will get you there. Watching you push through challenges and embrace the beauty of nature motivates me to strive for more in my own life.
    Please keep a close eye on your pressure points for redness, and the fact that you’re doing all of this while being paralyzed is truly amazing. Managing your pressure points and even taking care of bowel care at the same time during such an intense trip is incredibly inspiring. Way to go, Lisa! I hope you succeed and can’t wait to see how you conquer Iceland!

      @ I mean that is the main thing 😂 u definitely got it though. If I could do it again I might have given myself more rest days tbh ! I was on a time crunch but it would have helped a ton to have some low/no mileage days ! Also plan ahead for the tunnels that cyclists aren’t allowed to pass through! The busses can be iffy about taking cyclists through. Best of luck out there sister!

    I'm in a wheelchair as well, I completely understand the continuous thoughts of everything that could go wrong. I flew across the country by myself for the first time a few years ago, I was pretty nervous! Especially because of the connecting flights. But nervousness changed to pride when I landed successfully. It's tough when something happens and all the things that used to be simple, now require extra time and prep. To have your whole life change in a blink of an eye. But just because it's different, doesn't mean it's bad. You are a wonderful example of that. Beautiful job on the bike ride, absolutely amazing!! I hope you have the best time in Iceland!

    Such a beautiful view when you reached your destination, and the drone video, and the straight stretch on the road. The drone takes wonderful videos. That's a nice skill to have - learning how to use that drone.
    PLus I would have no idea how to make a video, you have many many talents.
    I found myself wanting to say out loud: "Wheeeee" ... when you were going 45 km/hr downhill. Such a thrill!
    I've gone for long bike rides, but never that far. It gives me some motivation to try harder next summer. Thank you for this.
    Enjoy your mornings, noons and nights. Keep wheelin! Love your smile!

    sounds like the gear setscrew needs to be adjusted. It ginds like that when it's not centered on the sproket its only 2 screws on the back end. If you go with a geared hub it's more reliable but less gears and a little more weight. The advantage is you can shift into any gear at any time with a geared hub. Gears are lighter and more options for the ratio you want

    Wow, that was a great video! I thoroughly enjoyed it. You make me miss my mountain bike that I sold years ago. You can do the 75 miles/day for 14 days in Iceland! Train, train, train! You rock!
    P.S. I also crave the solitude in nature and I totally get it.

    Hope our paths cross in California this winter. We’re close to having our van finished enough to go south. Superarm installed!
