Glad to be back on the road for another year! Dad and I are continuing the ride a bit further north so we can rejoin a map made by the Adventure Cycling Association. Yesterday, we flew into Moline, Illinois, just across the Mississippi from Davenport, Iowa. The bike looked great when it arrived at the hotel, and we were ready to start!
This morning, we set out from the hotel and made good time through the corn. It was a beautiful day if a bit toasty. As we expected, it’s quite flat along our route, so that makes it quite easy! The corn is taller than us, and if I knew what healthy soy looked like I imagine I would have noticed it everywhere as well. There are many beautiful farmhouses all along the route; some of the abandoned ones are an incredible testament to the great history of this place.
We stopped for lunch at Rudy’s Sports Bar and Grill in Cambridge and enjoyed it, despite the fact that the chef is a Yankees fan (he’s a great guy in every other respect). The small towns we ride through each have their own characters, and it’s wonderful to be able to explore them on two wheels.
