Stretching? Another early morning. Perhaps not enough beauty sleep.

Remember Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle"?

We managed to escape the bad guys in black cowboy hats.

Hey Folks, I'm getting Google Alerts from your blog since you've written about 'Garden City, KS'. I hope you enjoyed my hometown! I haven't had a chance to read why your trekking, but what an amazing trip you must be experiencing. Are you able to keep up with the TdF results? Ride lots, be safe.

Hello from Bruges in Belgium! Just wanted to let you know that people are following your progress from another continent! The temp here is low 60s, which would be nice for cycling, as would the lack of any hills. Maybe next year you should plan an easy trip through the low countries. (The constant drizzle/rain doesnt seem to prevent the many cyclists here from getting out on 2 wheels!)
