Welcome to our blog

Glad you chose to visit our blog that documents our trail as we bicycle from the Niagara Falls area to the east side of Iowa, then join up with 10K bikers for RAGBRAI. We are following the northern tier route from Adventure Cycling Association. We have 2 vehicles (40ft RV and a Jeep). The normal days ride involves the logistics of driving one vehicle approx. 50 miles west, hopping on our bikes (pulling a trailer with our dog Zin), riding back East to the other vehicle. This way we get to ride together, take advantage of the prevailing westerly winds and stay in the comfort of our RV. Hope you enjoy the ride!

Day 16 - NO Biking, Tall Sycamores RV park, Peru. IN


Theresa got up early today because it was a workday for her. The campgrounds had a decent connection and she was able to actually get some work stuff done! Kevin slept in and was even able nap in the afternoon as well :) It was a pleasant temp all day so we actually enjoyed the outside quite a bit today, mainly just sitting and vegging. Theresa planned the logistics for the last few days of the journey to Iowa.  She called the mayor of Ashkum, Il to ask permission to park the RV overnight at the village park and they were fine with that and even offered to open the restrooms for us! Theresa also reserved 2 nights at a RV park just north of Henry. IL which will be the last staging area before Moline. It is hard to believe we will exit Indiana tomorrow and enter Illinois.

Dinner was chicken wraps on the grill. A simple no mess one wrapper meal. Theresa is exhausted so this blog post will be easy reading. Tomorrow, Theresa needs to get some more work done in the afternoon so we will move the jeep 13 miles up on the route so that our biking is under 40 miles. You may call that cheating but we call that dealing with the requirements :) it is all part of the adventure. The logistics biking and return trip with the car will take over 9 hours to accomplish and there is a time zone change that adds to the confusion. Should be interesting!
