Well the journey had a mind of its own. A 68 mile ride turned into a 91 mile ordeal. Road construction, bad directions, and misinformation and I just now arrived at the hotel in Athens. I am waiting on my lovely wife!! Some new stats for ya. Flipped off twice, ran off the road into the grass once, yelled stupid things at three times, and rude honking twice. You guessed it, all in Ohio in three days!!! All of the above never happened even once in all the other states. Some very nice people in OH too, but they were everywhere, but no idiotic rude people encountered anywhere else. I wasn't at all surprised. One guy flipped me off as he left from pumping gas. I was sitting on a bench drinking gatoraid! Oh well!! The shoulders of the Ohio roads are littered with gravel, sand, glass, and truck tire rubber. I probably road an extra 10 miles dodging all the debris on the shoulder. Needless to say I am not impressed with buckeye land! HAPPY TO BE ALMOST HOME!

    Welcome (almost) home, Randy :)
    Kenny and I are going to celebrate your arrival by taking a long ride ourselves. We're riding with a group on the Rail-Trail tomorrow. Your daily routine is probably once in a lifetime ride for me (Lisa) at 72 miles in one day! You're an inspiration!

    We're so glad you're well and have had a good time! We'll see you as soon as possible.

  6. Hi, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.

    When I look at your website in Chrome, it looks fine but
    when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!

  7. Hi there this is somewhat of off topic but I was
    wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually
    code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  8. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like
    yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% sure. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

  9. Hеy would you mind ѕharіng
    which blog platform уou're working with? I'm looking
    to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm lookіng for somеthіng completelу unique.

  12. First of all I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question in
    which I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was curious to find out how you
    center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
    I've had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Cheers!

  13. Heya exceptional website! Does running a blog similar
    to this require a lot of work? I've virtually no knowledge of computer programming but I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any suggestions or techniques for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off topic however I simply had to ask. Thank you!

  14. Great blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like
    Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Many thanks!

    Does one offer guest writers to write content for you? I wouldn't mind publishing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write regarding here. Again, awesome web site!

    keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost.
    ..HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented
    it. Too cool!

    later and see if the problem still exists.

  23. Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site. It's
    simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very hard to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appeal. I must say you have done a very good job with this. Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Firefox. Outstanding Blog!
