Another hot and muggy day in Michigan, but at least we re-grouped to a certain extent. We are now down to two groups instead of four. Bonnie, Ken, Martin and...
And yet another hot and muggy Michigan day! The locals are claiming that this is an unusual June, and that this is August weather. Oh joy! Fortunately it was...
Today was a day of highs and lows. We did get rained on for most of the afternoon, but either it was a warm rain, or we are just getting used to it, because...
It was a relatively nice and easy ride to London, Ontario. Rain threaten several times, but held off until after at least three of us were tucked away neatly...
Toronto has a great system of bake paths that let you pass right through downtown and out the other side. So I had breakfast near Ontario Place on the lake,...
For the next few days, the daily reports will be my personal account, as I have split off from the group for a short period of time. The group decided to...
First of all, we miss Eric and will be nicer when we reunite! Bonnie and Ken decided they needed another night in the great outdoors the evening of June 14...
We miss you, Eric. On the other hand, now that we've heard about that 100+ mile day, maybe we don't miss you SO much. Oops, forgot to tell you that we ended...
It was blissful to sleep in till 8:00 am, the only time I have been up earlier than Gail who is usually up at the crack of dawn. We all breakfasted at Denny's...
If my last two reports are a bit confusing I just realized that for some reason Yahoo posted them out of order. Oh well! Because I was a bit ahead of the...
I am typing this from the pub at the Ganaoque Inn. But before you jump to conclusions, it is because the hotel's Wi-Fi signal does not reach my room. Their...
While the promised sunshine never materialised, today's ride went quite well. It started with a substantial complimentary breakfast at the Gananoque Inn. The...
I have a very short time to get out our news so please excuse any typos, etc. First of all I need to extinguish those rumors that have been flying around. No,...
Susie and Gail did a fine job of getting us out of the "maze" of Greece and Rochester where bridges were our nemesis. After travelling for afew miles on a...
For those that are keeping count, today I completed my third fully loaded century, 103 miles. The mild tailwinds helped, but I think the incentive of making it...
We travelled 68 miles from Oswego to Watertown, NY. It was a beautiful sunny day right from the start with comfortable temperatures and a hint of a tailwind....
I have not posted anything in the last two days, because Tuesday and Wednesday were lay over days for me. I spent both days with family and friends I did bike...

This is it; the final leg of the trip. And in typical fashion a day that was supposed to be easy, turn out to be exhausting. It was hot, in the high nineties....
It was just another hot, muggy and hilly day in Vermont. Oh, did I say hot. All the locals have been telling us how unusual this weather is for this time of...
Yes you read the above correctly. We are in Maine. Although we are still planning reach the water, at this point we can all say that we biked from California...
Correction! It was Gail and Susie who stayed in the motel in Swanton. Bonnie camped like usual. These last few days were supposed to be easy. I cut them back...
We slept in Rumford, eat breakfast in Mexico, lunch in Farmington and supper in Skowhegan. It seems that the remaining balance of the tour is quickly slipping ...
By the end of the ride we will have cycled over 3,750 miles, and in retrospect, there is not a lot of the routing I would change. However, today's route would...
I guess we were all hoping that the last day would be a nice easy cruise to the sea under sunny skies and a cool breeze. But the Fates decided differently for...
First of all, thanks to Eric (and sometimes Bonnie) for all the mapping and for keeping you all informed of our adventure. Thanks, too, to all five of my ...
This will be my last report. I have encouraged the other five members to also write summaries, so hopefully you will be getting other points of view. These...
As what I call "The Year of the Bike" comes to an end and I am tying up loose ends I finally place fingers to keyboard to write my personal thoughts on THE...
