    Wrapping up Day 3/6

    2021年6月18日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C

    We lounged in the hotel for a couple of hours. I had to hand wash our cycling clothing in the sink, and we are drying them on hangers attached to a bungee cord clothesline. After cooling down we took a walk a cafe, convenience shop, and an antique shop next to our hotel. Tonight we’ll rest for another hot day tomorrow as we ride to our warmshowers host in Hermann, Mo which is about 45 miles away.もっと詳しく

    Day 3/6 On to Jefferson City, MO

    2021年6月18日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    Beautiful riding through Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area as we rode with the Missouri River on our right. The tall bluffs shaded us from the morning sun and kept our bodies a bit cooler. Being closer to Columbia we saw more riders on the trail than any other day. Sebastian was motivated to beat the heat today, and we arrive at the Baymont Inn at 12:30 PM with almost 40 miles.もっと詳しく

    Day 3/6 Early Morning in Midway

    2021年6月18日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Sebastian chose the wake up time of 6:15 AM and we were grabbing breakfast at the truck stop cafe about 6:45 AM. I forgot how big breakfast is at a truck stops, and we were over stuffed by our plate sized pancakes. We were on the road before 7:30 AM. We had to navigate some hectic traffic to cross the Interstate 70 exit, and this led us to a narrow state highway for another tense mile. We then had some tough rolling hills to finish the 6.5 miles to rejoin the Katy Trail.もっと詳しく

    So so HOT, Katy Trail Day 2

    2021年6月17日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    We are safe in the A/C at a BUDGET Inn In Midway, Missouri. A bridge out on the trail gave us a cruel detour on to a busy highway with no shoulder and no shade! Thanks a lot Missouri! As we struggled in the heat and were nearly struck by a speeding school bus ( thanks America 🇺🇸), we pulled off the road and contemplated our choices. A nice man in a Pickup stopped to ask if we were ok, and at this time we decided it was best to accept his offer for a ride for our last twelve miles. We rode about 48 miles, and Sebastian was do great until the heat overcame us. Good ride and good adventures that make touring so much fun.もっと詳しく

    Hot ride to Sedalia

    2021年6月16日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Almost 40 miles today after a five hour car drive. Sebastian did great and we rode steadily through the heat to arrive at the historic hotel Bothwell in Sedalia. We made frequent stops in the shade and took a long stop in an a/c Subway shop for cold drinks. A bit further down the road we took a long rest on some picnic tables in a city park with some snacks and cold drinks from the convenience shop. Pushing on through the heat we arrived in Sedalia around 6 pm. I made a quick trip to the grocery, did laundry, and we grabbed some take-out from a local pub/restaurant. A big day tomorrow with predictions of 100° F.もっと詳しく

    Michigan Day 4

    2020年8月9日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Lisa and I got out for a morning bike ride of about 20 miles. After a late breakfast, Adam and I went to explore some more mountain bike trails nearby. The boys seem to be doing fine at the river, and not checking in much. They must be loving the non-parental supervision. Today day is our last full day in Michigan, and we drive home tomorrow. Lisa and I both went water skiing today, and again we took a nice sunset ride in the boat.もっと詳しく

    2020年8月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    We checked in with the boys at the river, and they were requesting more food! Adam, Lisa and I went to Rockford, Michigan for some mountain biking. Lisa’s sister, Amy, came over with her husband Brandon for dinner, and to spend the night. We had another beautiful day, a fun time mountain biking, and another nice sunset boat ride!もっと詳しく

    Michigan Day 2

    2020年8月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Lisa and I spent the day relaxing at the lake. I got out for a nice 45 mile bike ride on the road. Otherwise we were taking the pontoon boat for a ride, fishing, or just relaxing around the lake. Another piece for sunset ride on the water. We didn’t hear anything from the boys at the river, so we assume all is well!もっと詳しく

    Preparing for Michigan & Evening Ride

    2020年8月5日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Most of the day was spent getting ready for our trip to Michigan. We bought a lot of groceries for Sebastian and his three friends that will be staying at the river without parents! They planned their menu, and plan to prepare all their food at the river over the fire or the barbecue. This will be the boys first real long road trip together. We are glad they are going to follow us on the nearly 7 Hour drive. In the evening we took a ride with Pat, and hit some of our favorite gravel roads to the east and south of Iowa City. We ended up with beers at our house, another fun summer day!もっと詳しく

    Sunset Ride #1

    2020年8月1日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    To start the month of August, I planned a sunset ride for Lisa and I. I pick some of our favorite gravel roads To the south east of Iowa City, and paint it so we will be on a B-maintenance road looking over Iowa City right at sunset. Everything worked out perfect and we had a beautiful ride. A fabulous way to start off the month!もっと詳しく

    100 mile Gravel to Plant a tree

    2020年7月25日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    I wrote 100 miles of gravel over to Marshalltown. It would’ve been my dad’s 85th birthday. We surprise my mom by arranging a tree planting at the college he taught at for nearly 50 years. The day was super hot, and this made for a tough ride.もっと詳しく

    Another CYST Recovery Day

    2020年7月21日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    The day was spent working on the window and tinkering around the house. We finished the inside trim on the window and later in the day I rode Zwift. The route was the Champs-Élysées in Pairs. It was interesting to ride it In a virtual world verse riding it in real life in the summer of 2018. Duh, real is way better. We miss touring in Europe! 😢もっと詳しく

    Lazy Day at Home / Windmills

    2020年7月20日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    I relaxed at home and caught up with my online class I’m teaching and on the window installation. In the evening I did a Zwift ride to keep me riding streak going. Lisa did some work and taught yoga. She also did the courageous work of going to the hardware store to get supplies for the window installation. I decided since I don’t have many photos of the day I would post some windmill photos I’ve been saving.もっと詳しく

    CYST Day 7 (MTB Iowa City)

    2020年7月19日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Pat, Joe, and I rode to the Coralville trails and explored the new flow trail too. It was a nice casual day to end a week of riding. The total mileage for the week ended around 280 miles. We had a great amount of fun and did the best we could with the current pandemic state of the country. Joe head back to Pella and Adam to Michigan. Sebastian came over in the afternoon and we had a relaxing evening of chicken tacos (one of Sebastian’s favorites) and watched “The Office.” After dinner we went for a drive to watch the sunset and picked up some ice cream on the way back to the house.もっと詳しく

    CYST Day 6 (West Liberty Gravel)

    2020年7月18日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Another super hot day of gravel riding. We planned a 35 mile gravel loop to the Southeast. Adam had two more flat tires and we gave him some grieve for not having them near any shade. We stopped at an old cemetery near West Liberty for a break. An 85 year old man showed up with his daughter and he was full of stories for us. In West Liberty we had Casey’s pizza in the Park and then ventured back to Iowa City through the blazing heat. Again we relaxed at our house in the evening.もっと詳しく

    CYST Day 3 (100% chance of rain)

    2020年7月15日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌧 22 °C

    Anamosa - Waubeek
    We were waiting out the 100% chance of rain in the morning, but it never came. We rode 12.5 miles to Waubeek and ate a late lunch. We rode back in to Anamosa in the early evening and of course had to stop at Boot-hill Cemetery over looking the maximum security State Prison in Anamosa. Barbecue dinner at Doug’s on the front porch. Another fine day of riding in Iowa.もっと詳しく
