Daily Summary:

What more can I say about this fabulous adventure?  It was a wonderful way to spend some time with Raymond during his summer bridge to adulthood.  He was the perfect riding partner and we really had a nice time together.  He is a great cyclist, but also a good friend and riding buddy.  Always positive, never a whine, never showing any impatience, always willing to go the extra mile, he was totally impressive.  Coupled with our west to east trip 2 years ago, our pink lines now stretch for thousands of miles across the country.  Bicycling is such a wonderful way to see and experience a region.  I feel very lucky to be able to do so.  Thanks for reading!
