Remember that chest cold that I got a few weeks back? Well it’s not going away and has added the fun symptom of a sore throat. So I decided to get it checked. After arguing with my insurance company for awhile I found a local walk-in clinic and spent the afternoon there. Everyone was really [...]

In the “Chair” I’ve decided to write today’s entry. Last night was uneventful with the exception that Daniel had his first experience with White Castle burgers and Chicken rings.

Well I’m about mid-way through this years ride. As I was riding today, I felt it was time to reflect back on some of what I’ve experienced and share some additional thoughts. I am up to 5200 miles into this ride. 5200 miles is a long way to ride in a car let alone on [...]
