Pure joy!
That’s all I can say! Stellar day of cycling. Felt super in the morning with a bit of gitty-up-and-go.
Have been meeting so many great peeps. Carrie and Tim from Kansas schooled us on gravel grinding. Tim you’re amazing and Carrie I want to be one of your 6th grade ELA students. #teachershaveclass
Is the sky blue or what? Absolutely the best cycling weather.
We met 77yo Betsy who has cycled around the world. Her four fave destinations? South Africa, Iceland, Vietnam and Cuba. Count us in for all those. Self supported.
Betsy first cycled across the US in 1988 with two other women using a AAA Trip Tick. #respect
I’ve been thinking about our two little loves, Charlie and Archie and can’t wait to give our grands lots of hugs!
Critter count is now:
Turtles: 6, Snakes: 2, Toads: 2,Goats: 1, Lizards (Komodo dragons): 2 and wait for it… 1 Beaver (and I’m not kidding)
There’s plenty of time for solitude on the trail and to give thanks. Grateful hearts are happy hearts and ours are overflowing.
If only I could just relax a little…
Keep Calm and Pedal On 
Enjoyed your pictures. I remember Booneville where you cross the river. Near there, I moved a log to set up a picture and a huge snake was underneath it. Hope you see more turtles than snakes!

Me too! No more snakes!
Have looked at your blog many times and still enjoy it.
Pedal on Lone Rider!
