Farmer ……. what a man …….. still the Devil Dog! Don’t know if the Southern Tier is ready for you. Be nice to them, not that you aren’t always! Are you going through OKIE land? If so I would be honored to ride a mile with you. Hubie

Wow! I had no idea you guys had embarked on this amazing journey! And with two weeks on the road you’ve seen alligators, a zillion species of birds and butterflies, met Fred and Ricky (awaiting a future post with Lucy & Ethel), danced up a storm to live tunes, toured Epcot, visited with family & friends, experienced magic pretty much everyday, and have been graced by the love of humanity.
Your blog reminds me of how when we take these long journeys and write about them we tend to examine and savor every moment of the day. Something we could all do more of, I suspect, in our normal day-to-day.
Looking forward to the biking 🚵 part of the pilgrimage. Happy trails and buen Camino, PFJ and OpS O.

What a marvelous adventure for you two youngsters! Stay safe – keep the sun on your backs and air in your tires. Really enjoying your interesting blog. I remember when your riding RAGBRAI seemed like a long journey and now it’s just one little state in your cross country odyssey. I have a great Denver gal pal, Polly Letosky, who wrote 3MPH which chronicled her journey as she was the first woman (or person – can’t remember which) to walk around the world. I hesitate to mention that now as it may come across as a challenge to PFJ. However, she did just record the audio which Cathy might love listening to as she follows in STella. Looking forward to reading your riding adventures. You two never cease to amaze me. Massages, food, laundry, and comfy beds await when you pedal through our great state. Love and prayers to you both.
