haulin' on home DAY 3

today we are going on number four, but since my lack of wi-fi... this post is for 2  days ago

it was a good day... we were feeling good (me and justin) i think what made it hard was we stopped when we didnt need to and that first stop was too long

but around fourty miles.... we got chased by a dog, leading justin in potholes, the dog was like rabid or somehting... then we were riding along when justin stopped yelping my name

'chris chris something is wrong oh dear awesome brother of mine" - his exact words

we looked at it and it turns out he popped a spoke and broke another one... so we were deciding whether to keep going with mom in justins place... but then it started to rain so we just packed up and finished the ride by car...

haulin' on home DAY 2

today we started the canada portion of the ride

lets say it was a false flat and it smelled bad

i pushed through the false flat and stopped at the bathroom and sprayed lavender air freshener on my gloves so i can smell that instead of smelling the gross cow manuer 

i saw a fox and a blue heron and that means good luck

justin got some video and it was a good day

im ready for tommorow

Praying Mantis

Chris and I just before ride out.

 




Today was the start of my ride… we are still in Michigan so me and our good friend chris went to the Canadian border and back

Justin and mom followed us and got some good video footage for my dvd

There was a praying mantis on my handle bars and it stayed there for a good 10 minutes

I guess its good luck for the ride…
