No riding yet today, except for a short jaunt up to check out the river, the bike shop, and a used video game store that I found in town. Traveling was relatively uneventful. I ended up in a Lyft XL coming from the AirPort to the house we’re staying, and the driver and I slowly realized that he had given a ride just a couple of weeks ago to a friend of mine Matt who is doing his own personal ride from here out to Miami. One of the things that I love about these rides is that sense of community, of feeling that there are many of us all over the place.
There’s a beautiful bike path here along the Missouri River. The weather is slightly overcast which is very nice for riding. It’s funny to be here in the same exact place I was two years ago!
Tomorrow is the first day of riding!
