2012 Challenge complete-300 days on the bike

[nuliajuk]

Congratulations, JoAnn! That is a huge accomplishment, and I simply can't imagine riding that much (except down here on beach bikes, which is a very different thing). I know how bad the weather can be there, so the fact that you were able to ride so many days of the year is even more impressive.

What part of Belize are you in? I know there is some road riding going on, or at least there was. When we first visited in 2006 we were told about a weekend stage race called the Tour of Belize, and I think there was a single event near Easter called the Holy Saturday road race. I believe there used to be a cross-country mountain bike race down there at one time as well. I suppose the economic downturn killed these events off.
(My better half is a cycling official, so on our first trip he convinced our guide, a former national soccer director, to take us to the big sports office in Belize city.)
E.T.A.:
Looks like the Holy Saturday race is still being held - 2013 will be it's 85th year!
