Mountain Dew and Chocolate Ice Cream

Ten days on the road and we have been so lucky in so many ways.
Wonderful weather, helpful locals, good food whenever we wanted it,
and lots of back roads with beautiful views and a nice shoulder for
biking. Hopefully if I continue to appreciate it then the good fortune
with continue.............. We made it to the Finger Lakes region of
NY today. It was up - down - up - down to get here. A really nice long
downhill section led us directly to the general store in one of the
many little towns we pass each day. Sitting outside in the shade with
my bottle of Mountain Dew and cup of chocolate ice cream, my only
thought was "Strong and content, I travel the open road."

  1. A girl from Chatanooga and a student from LA
    Grabbed their cyles and camp gear and took off one day.
    The used to be hikers
    And now they are bikers
    But maps are for wimps so they don't know the way.

    The girls ask townspeaople how to get here to there.
    They might want some yoga, a circus or a fair.
    With cameras and whistles - check
    They avoid getting in a wreck
    And whether legal or sheltered, they'll sleep anywhere.

    Massachussetts, New York and then Niagara Falls
    They'll visit local sights, might even stop at malls.
    From Atlantic to Pacific
    This trip will be terrific.
    The ride uphill is tough but the glide down sure enthralls.

    Good luck
