Solo Cruiser

The "Old Land Cruisers" blog has been reconstructed as "Solo Cruiser." This means that Bill, Jim, and Warren, my partners in long distance cycling, have regained their senses and created a life beyond "doing dumb things." As for me, I need serious intervention! Lee provides encouragement for my cycling adventures as she makes the call to my life insurance agent. This time I have the security of Medicare to handle my day to day needs as I venture from Radford, Virginia to Stoneham, Massachusetts (just north of Boston). The adventure begins Tuesday, June 14th and depending on how many times I get lost, I should cover slightly less than 800 miles in 10 days. Also, as an exception to my "wing it" philosophy, I have actually planned for overnight arrangements at several destinations. It is my intent to offer daily blog posts as I head from the Confederacy across the Mason-Dixon line into the yankee stronghold where Paul Revere "warned the British!" Who knows what tomorrow may bring? Actually, I'm thinking tomorrow may be too hot to train, so I've created a "rest cycle" for most of the day with a gin and tonic late in the afternoon. Cheers to rigorous training!
