In two weeks, I'll hopefully be sound asleep after having just ridden my bike 86 miles on the first day of the MS TRAM. According to Green Day, there's no going back. The first day covers International Falls to Orr, wherever the heck that is.
My spirited pit crew, pictured below (in winter; hopefully it won't be like this in International Falls, "the nation's icebox") is gearing up. Dan bought a game with the unfortunate name of "Cornhole." It basically is a beanbag toss game. While I found a lot of info about this game online, I am not quite sure why it is called this.
I got my new chain and cassette today, and had to go back to the shop after riding to get things adjusted a bit more. Now she runs like a charm, whatever that means.
Stacy sent me a photo of the confluence of three rivers in Pennsylvania. If this blog has devoted readers, those folks will know I love rivers, especially the confluence of the MN and MS Rivers. I don't know if I could handle the excitement of three. All the different paths, histories, etc. I think I would faint. I should go there and see what happens to me.
Today's riding was a little sedate due to my slipping gears, but I've got some good days of riding planned for the rest of the week.
