A wet rainy day with 1.2 inches with a better forecast for tomorrow. Also was able to get a rental car tomorrow instead of a u-haul so that should work better.

Sioux City, squish, squish, where did my visor go…

Gone to look for America Posted on August 2, 2023 by mevAugust 2, 2023

A wet ride this morning so not many photos. The weather forecast had me fooled. The forecast had me expecting rain early and clearing by 9am or so. It also suggested that cycling north would result in less rain. So … Continue reading →

Crossing Philadelphia

Gone to look for America Posted on May 3, 2023 by mevJune 19, 2023

The theme for today was crossing Philadelphia. While I still expect to be in urban/suburban areas for a while, I did make it into and out of the center of America’s sixth largest city today. Overall, navigation worked fairly well. … Continue reading →
