Spent a couple of days off of the bike with the Gilbert’s. Gordy and Pat were gracious hosts. They are great cooks and I definitely put back on some of the weight I had lost. They shared a lot of stories about Lena as a kid and I told them several about Alex. It was […]

I was up at 5:30. Still congested, but no sore throat. The Inn didn’t offer a breakfast, so after my morning routine I walked five blocks to a breakfast restaurant. After breakfast, I went back to the Inn, packed up and started riding. I was riding around 7:15. It was a great day to ride.

I woke up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat. I think I’m allergic to something in my hotel room, or just Muncie in general. 🙂 Got some OTC allergy medicine from the front desk and walked around town to get some fresh air. Didn’t take long to walk around town. I saw some

I posted yesterday’s blog post mid-afternoon thinking that I was going to have a quiet, boring evening alone. However, a couple of things happened yesterday that I wanted to share before starting on today. This campground I’m at is mostly RV’s with hookups for utilities and retired people live here April through October. The campground

Last night, the forecast was calling for rain starting around 7:30. I woke up at 4:40 and the rain was now starting at 5:00. So I went around my camp to make sure everything was ready for rain. I moved my bike into a nearby shelter to keep it out of the rain. Like a

I woke up early and did my morning routine. Made it to breakfast when they opened at 6:00. Ate a huge breakfast to fuel up for the day. I was biking by 7:00. The weather was great! High 50’s to start with a high of 75. Almost no wind. It was a fast, mostly downhill
