Goshen,IN to Archbold,OH

Miles traveled: 90

Fly, be free! Oh, what a difference a day makes. I dropped forty pounds today, two tires and ohhh! what a difference that made. Add to this a nice tail wind and 70 degree weather and this was without a doubt the quickest and easiest day I've had.

I was cruising at 20 to 25 mph for miles. I loved it.

You know the verse that goes something like "The wind blows where it wills". I tell you what, it definitely makes a difference when you are riding in the same direction as the wind. That's what I want to be doing.

I have a good friend who has asked me in essence. "Are you riding towards something or away from something?" My answer to such a question is "Yes" I see this journey as a ride towards something and a ride away from something. I'm just not completely clear what those things are at this point. I do believe the wind is at my back.

I was able to ride the last 18 miles with my father. He rode the bike that he had ridden across the U.S. and then in Europe. I'll try and get a picture on the blog. That was a treat. Those miles flew by.


Tomorrow I am off to Norwalk,OH a 90+ mile day. Jan will travel on to Kidron and I will be on my own for the day and night. I won't be able to update tomorrow but will try and do that when I get into Kidron on Saturday.
