Alexandria to Morris

Only 50 miles to travel today. That should be easy for those of us who didn’t stay out too late consuming adult beverages while cavorting with raucous crowds at the most popular Alexandria establishments last night. If I was true to form, the desire for a full night’s sleep had me tucked in just about the time mosquitos took over the air space.

I’m usually sleeping hard enough by the time late-comers return that I don’t even hear the tent zippers opening and closing. Sometimes I hear when someone trips over a rainfly guy-wire. Mind you, that happens whether or not the person has been imbibing freely –day or night.

I look forward to finding what is in store for us in Morris.

Albany to Alexandria

Okay, so this morning is when it feels a little tender to climb back on the bike and sit. Like so many things in life, you get used to it soon enough and pedal away without a care in the world. It’s Juneteenth today!

We ride some on the Lake Wobegon Regional Trail today. I wonder how many new friends I will have made by the end of the day. The biking is great but it’s the people on the trip that make it so dang much fun that I keep returning year after year.

I sure hope the wildfire smoke isn’t as bad today as it was at the end of last week.
