DAY 23: Life’s in Session, Baby! (Iowa, Part 3)

DAY 23: Life’s in Session, Baby! (Iowa, Part 3)

It took 23 days to have that moment in the dirt. 23 days to have that moment that will NEVER be funny in retrospect. NEVER!

I follow the “Detour” signs…right onto Interstate 80!

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?]

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.

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

Check out my new post (link in bio). Getting back to old-skool HBC and reportage from the road in 2018. It’s been 1,619 days since I pedaled over the state line from Montana to Idaho. Let’s celebrate that long-ago milestone. Witness my ignorance regarding bike tire treads! Take a stoned-ass trip back to Santa Cruz 1993 for my first and only bro-infused mountain biking adventure! Scream with me at the majestic coniferousness of northern Idaho’s Bitterroot Mountains! And stay tuned for more.
Check out my most recent #handlebarconfessional essay (link in bio) where I attempt to explain where I am with the project. Haven’t posted since I dipped Whitey Jackson’s wheels in the Atlantic in St. Augustine, Florida, last November. Haven’t posted on my website either–I didn’t want to write from the road (besides the maximum character count on here), as I had during previous rides. It’s WORK.
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
