My current location is in South Africa. It's a vast, wide-open desert. It almost looks like I could be riding through Maricopa, the small farming community in Arizona I lived in 20 years ago. I got in 60 miles so far of the trip. I wish they had never made the HUD so obvious and cluttered. You can see part of the handle of my virtual bike, even though in real life I'm on my skier. Just when I was worried it would be a waste of money. It's anything but that! If anything is a waste of money, it's the treadmill.

The 20420 coins are a bit frustrating because I have nothing to do with them. I've purchased everything I want for my trainer, not that I have her visible most of the time. I keep hoping they'll come out with either more outfits or skins for boards/bikes but they never do.

My rank is now 326!

I'm going to be riding through dry, barren terrain throughout here and in Namibia. But once I get to Angola it'll get a little greener.
