Well, no doubt we've had one heckuva busy summer. Looked like work was going to keep us from our ride this year, but of course, the boys would hear nothing of it. Dylan and Riley have been very active this summer, lot's of exercise and they should be in tip top shape. Their Dad on the other hand, is now 40, and hasn't been gracing the gym as much as he should've. Oh well, that's why they make Advil, right?
The Plan! We're off to the Mississippi River and Davenport, Iowa. Nothing like the balmy August confines of the Midwest, but we'll figure out a way to get comfy. We'll go due East (with tailwinds we hope) and go to Sheffield, then Starved Rock State Park. Work our way up Morris, to the birthplace of Bob the Builder, aka Grandpa and possibly sneak in a movie in Joliet, finally cracking the urban roads of Chicago. The Cubs and their hot dogs should be ready for us.
OK...not picking up from Sun Valley to connect East. I decided that stretch is for us when the boys get a little older....stay tuned!

Can't believe you got up so early & are on your way!! Looking forward to hearing about all the adventures! I could tell the boys were dying to get back on that bike and on their way with you! Take care of yourself and the boys...keep them fueled up! Hope you guys get sleep somewhere along the way :)
Have a great trip. Smart move skippin the mountains until the boys can carry you up. Have fun in the cornfields and cow pastures. Remember no cow tipping. As Sky would say, "cow tipping? That not nice." Enjoy the adventure we will be following your every move. Uncle Matt
