I figured the way to really get the most out of the bike was to go on a 2 month long jaunt across the country. Back roads the whole way

Started in Boston.

1st leg destination is Sioux Falls, SD for a few beers with a buddy.

The circuitos route:

Woodstock, NY ✅
Harrisburg, PA ✅
Philadelphia ✅
Pittsburgh ✅
Columbus, Oh
Lexington
Cincinnati
Indianapolis
Chicago
Tunnel of Trees, MI
Minneapolis
Sioux Falls, SD

God I love this bike

There are (or always used to were) VR people at that event. Pretty sure Jerry and Lori (BirdDog and Born2BeWild) were regulars.

Unless there's more stops, Ohio is 1 day from home. (or maybe I just go too fast... 😈)

Wait, there's a Dairy Queen Store? Is that where you can buy a Dairy Queen so all the VR people will stop by?

It was strange in the sense that I worked at the University of San Diego with sunshine for a week, came home for a week, and then went to a winter state of emergency in your area for close to 2 months. I never saw snow piled that high.

Blizzard of '78?

That snow was over my head at our house! It forever ruined winter for me as I expected snow like that every year.
