I plug johnnygun’s blessed Across-Iowa route into the app. Bye bye, Muscatine! Hello, Iowa City!

Days 15 & 16: Ashkum to the Mississippi. Long Days & Inevitable Thoughts of Privilege

Days 15 & 16: Ashkum to the Mississippi. Long Days & Inevitable Thoughts of Privilege

I can’t help but open this can of worms: I am supported by my privilege as white and male. Well, I’m not opening the can. It’s already open and I’ve been eating right out of it with gusto.

Day 14: Stranger on Exhibit in Ashkum, America.

Day 14: Stranger on Exhibit in Ashkum, America.

The water tower depicts an American flag, and a boy and girl holding hands. I ride around to the other side to see if there is same-sex couple representation on there. …Kidding!

Days 12 & 13: [OH], W[IN]dy-ana! [See What I Did There?]

I need a rest and a real meal, and the Blueberry Pancake House is right here in Monroeville, just a block away from the “Make Monroeville Great Again” sign!

Days 10 & 11: Sustained Yes-ing Yields More Than Apple Butter (Post-Cleveland Ohio).

Days 10 & 11: Sustained Yes-ing Yields More Than Apple Butter (Post-Cleveland Ohio).

I was grateful for cooler temps, though raindrops began to patter my helmet as I set out toward downtown Cleveland and the anticipated flatness of the Lake Erie shoreline.

Day 5: Latter GAP Trail to Pittsburgh. Mr. Crabbington Goes to Piratetown and Crashes Hard.

Who needs sleep? Or coffee? I had a destination: the city of Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and… maybe a basketball team.

Day 4: Rockwood to West Newton, PA. Co-Opting Occam’s Razor.

Day 4: Rockwood to West Newton, PA. Co-Opting Occam’s Razor.

The simplest answer is always the least obvious. To me, anyway.

Day 3: Paw Paw, WV to Rockwood, PA. Intimacy with Whitey and another rider.

Day 3: Paw Paw, WV to Rockwood, PA. Intimacy with Whitey and another rider.

So this ends up being yet another “yes” experience as we decided to eat lunch together in Cumberland, MD (the end of the muddy C&O) and the beginning of the GAP trail (GAP = Great Allegheny Passage) and continue riding together.

Day 45 FINALE: Gainesville to St. Augustine, FL
Day 44: Live Oak to Gainesville, FL Penultimate day. And what do I have to show for it? Nada. all 5 pics I snapped today are in the video. I stopped to smell 0 flowers but I did smell dogwood trees. Speaking of dogs, add one of those—and a fox !—to the death-menagerie march of annihilation by auto. And a cyclist whose white cross was at the roadside marking his passing. And a cat from the other day whose death mask I fear I’ll never unsee. I feel a bit guilty for sharing this stuff but we keep it real at HBC. I mean if half the people I spoke to didn’t eerily warn me of the imminent danger Im in CONSTANTLY with stricken visages when I tell them what I’m up to, I might not be thinking of my own death CONSTANTLY. Oh and if I hadn’t been hit in Phoenix…but whatever!
Day 43: Tallahassee to Live Oak, FL
Day 41: Pensacola to Bonifay, FL
Day 39: Dauphin Island, AL to Pensacola, FL
Day 38: Gulfport, MS to Dauphin Island, AL
