Ride Day #49 Spring Gap MD to Dam 5 MD
ODOMETER OVER 3,000 miles today! They are getting ready to continue the journey. The new trail they started was a COMPLETE disappointment compared to the dream trail they had just completed. Clear skies & 63° as they begin the day. I think they ought to be on the trail by about 0740. With the condition…

Ride Day #46 East Palestine OH to Pittsburg PA
It’s 69° at about 0630 and they are eating breakfast in the vehicle purchased at Circle K. We tried McDonalds but the lobby was locked until 0700 & the low clearance didn’t allow the vehicle with the antennas on top to pass. Supposed to be hot today so they have about 50ish miles to do.…

NO RIDE DAY #4 (I think)! Due to the forecasted high temperature today & that they have ridden 11 straight days, they are taking a day off.
Buck’s Quote: Sure glad we’re not riding today…. Enjoyed the day off! Al’s quote. The day of rest was needed.

Ride Day #43 Near Napoleon OH to Bellevue OH
0724 departure with a temperature of 57° and clear sky. Headed toward Wabash Cannonball Trailhead. They wanted this to be their first stop. On Google maps it looked like it was grass covered and By Golly, it is! They opted to ride the remote country roads until they got to where the trail was paved…
