Assault on the Mighty Mississippi River Tomorrow Sunday the 15th of September, 2013

The shoreline of the Mississippi River






Tonight I will most likely have to work at the restaurant so I will have a late night and early rise again. My intention is to ride from Westmont,IL to Savanna,IL completing the ride of 130 miles to make it to the river. It is supposed to rain, storm and be cold. Wool, a rain jacket and light will be in order to make the ride. I don't know if I will have a pick-up for the return or I will just U-turn and hobo my way back home. I need an adventure and tomorrow seems to be the time for one. I will most likely be on a geared bike to have bail out. I really want to ride the Quickbeam but I will experiment with the Chili con Crosso and the Thudubuster seatpost. 
I will be at the old house in Sycamore at 7 am and will head west. Anyone wanting to tag along is welcome. Bonk King and Kirk are riding out to Oregon and back. T.J. is a possibility. Cookie might meet me there as well. The summer is dwindling away and it's time to stay rolling. 
Hope to see someone out there,
best, 
Ari

  1. Since the weather is going to be shitty, I am thinking of going singlespeed on the PK Ripper. It isn't too hilly between Sycamore and Oregon. It's gonna be fun. See you at 7:00.

  2. The P.K ripper does not need any gears. Bring your Speedo in case it rains!!!
