The brink of the Unknown

I'm in Minneapolis, Minnesota. From here on out towns get smaller and farther between.... The wind is unobstructed .... And we don't have a rest day for the next fourteen days. Fortunatly, there isnt so much as a hill for miles.

The trip has been incredible. I've been doing this for nearly a month now (what???) and am still enjoying every second. I know I'm getting better because I tried to put on my jeans last night for the first time in a few weeks and they didn't fit over my thighs.... Oops.

We've been riding along the Mississippi river for the past few days and it's HUGE. Wisconsin was my favorite state so far. Just the right amount of hills, beautiful, great roads for riding on, and we spent the night on an organic farm! Very cool.

We have thus far had two major issues... One girl got hit by a car about two weeks ago, broke her leg and scapula but is recovering. Two days ago, Matt Young wiped out on a HUGE down hill, going forty miles an hour... But is just fine, somehow.

My best adventure of late has been the day that we went to a fair, stole a canoe and went out on the Mississippi (we returned it right away and left a thank you note...!) and took a two hour nap on a dock.

hope you all are happy and well! I sure am!
