I don't know if I will ever be able to do another major road trip like I did in 2012, but I definitely plan on doing more trips. This blog is a record of those trips as they happen.

Hopscotch

The plan for today was to parallel the interstate on state highways. In reality, the highways often merged with the interstate for a considerable distance. It wasn't a total waste, but by the afternoon I decided to scrap the plan and just ride the interstate. Tomorrow should be better.  There was definitely frost on the pumpkin when I started out today. As always, the key is to dress for the cold. I'm thinking I will have the same issue tomorrow. Actually, the biggest problem today was the sun. I was basically headed straight East today, and the sun in the early morning is brutal for an hour or so. I was glad I was not on the interstate then, because numerous times I had to slow down when I would become momentarily blinded by the sun. I've left myself in a better position for tomorrow's ride, it will be in more of a northerly direction initially, before I turn eastward.  If all goes well, I should be home tomorrow.

Current location:  Henceville, Alabama

Today's mileage:  475

Total:  2572
