Hi All: Just a quick update. I’m still alive and celebrated my 71st birthday on Saturday, St. Patrick’s Day. The really good news is, unless something prevents me from doing so, I am planning on getting back on the road this summer.
The current plan is to load up the bicycle in a rental car around 6 August, 2018, get up to around Stacy, Minnesota and start riding. With luck, and good weather my route should take me through the last few miles of MN, then into Wisconsin. From there I’ll hop the ferry from Manitowoc Port, to Ludington, Michigan. I’ll wander across Michigan to the Detroit/Windsor crossing into Canada and then ride east to the Rainbow Bridge crossing from Canada into NY. I’ll certainly visit my cousin in the Buffalo, NY area and then move on to cross NY into Vermont, New Hampshire and finally Massachusetts.
I’m told by my daughter, Áine, that I face the toughest hill climb of the entire journey going into NH. One would think the Cascades or Rocky Mountains would garner that honor. Who knew?
That is the quick update. Hopefully, more to follow soon.
hi dennis-
i’m glad to hear the bike trio is back on.
i wondered how many miles approximately
to you have to go. ?
i’m waiting for it to warm up to the 50’s so that i can go mtn
biking. i’ve ridden when it was as cold as 38 F, but some of these trails are still muddy
or snow covered.
Glad to hear that you’re getting back on the road. I hope all goes well. I’m looking forward to your tales of the adventure.
Good for you! I’m happy to hear your healthy enough to finish the ride. Let me know when you reach Newburyport and I’ll stop by to say hello.
I meant ‘you’re’ not ‘your’. I’m not that much of an English cretin. 😉
yeaaaaaaaa
glad to have you back
looking forward to your posts
stay healthy and safe and Happy Birthday
buen camino
