Day 5…I think.
If this is Wednesday, this must be Spokane.
Well, for those of you trying to emails of support, encouragement, or mental evaluations of doing such a ride, you have probably figured out by now I’m not getting any. Either that or the world really has abandoned me.
If you want to send hate mail, love mail, brownies, a new credit card, cash, or a new set of legs (Did I mention brownies?), the mailing addresses for where I’ll be are below. The US Postal Service has actually been doing a great job with everyone else’s mail and packages, getting it to the appropriate hotels. And the hotels are doing great, too, at holding the mail for us. Letter, bike parts, brownies…did I say brownies?...have gotten to the right person. It’s quite simple and relatively inexpensive. Let me put it this way: it’s beating the heck out of technology like a piece of vermin.
Lance should get his compact gearing from Richardson Bike Mart (Yeeaaa!) today. (Thank you Jack Gilespie.)

Figure out the days to get it on time.
Easy. That’s it. Simple. Done.
Last night I got to meet Roger Schramm, the organizer for the Spokane Ride Of Silence. Six other people also attended the chance to talk at Spaghetti Factory, including the local super woman bike organizer, Erica. Hank took pictures, sat next to me, and asked great questions. My voice, unfortunately, was torched. So I strained to be heard over the clatter of the restaurant. But it was great. It inspired me to hear THEIR stories, when they wanted to hear mine. Sincere, grounded, active. Good people. I’m VERY appreciative of these people. I’m glad Roger put out the word.
I think I’m only meeting one other organizer during the entire 3600 miles, and that’s in western Virginia. …Sure wish there were more to meet…
It’s windy and cool outside. Got a massage on the high hamstrings. Today’s another short day before we begin the 130 mile days.
Ride on, ride on, ride on…
