Crash and Floods when Biking the KATY – Bike Across America Day 51
Location: Hartsburg, MO (Small town park) One month to Topsail. I had my first real crash today. I’ve fallen before on this trip, but today I crashed. Just after we got started on the KATY, I noticed my front tire was low on air. It was slowly leaking, but I thought I might pump it […]
Another 60 Miles on the KATY Trail – Bike Across America Day 50
Location: Franklin, MO (KATY Roadhouse Campground) Another great day on the KATY. I moved with mindless effort over 60 miles of trail.

Cycling Across Kansas – Bike Across America Day 47
Location: Ottowa, KS (City Park) No super early wake-up call today. But we did rise early, eat quickly, and start riding as soon as we could to take advantage of a strong WNW wind. The wind blew hard throughout the night, waking me up on occasion. It didn’t dawn on me until I woke up […]
