During the night the wind had changed to easterly and the shore line was quiet except for a little sloshing. It was a Chamber of Commerce morning at the lakes’ edge. I really didn’t want to leave but the reality of ride distance and needing to move on kept me prepping to get underway. Another…

Left the hotel this morning with a full stomach and a good laugh after seeing the look on a little girls’ face when I told her why my bike was covered with bags and where I had come from. Priceless. Medina was a very busy little area with a major interstate intersecting my route, but…
Great day to be out biking. I woke this morning feeling refreshed and rested after taking the afternoon off yesterday and getting to bed much earlier than I have been. My eyes actually opened on their own rather than having to get out the pry bar. I was excited to get on the bike, I…
