The Bike Writer: The trip back home
Another rain delay. Strong storms moving through Chicago and Indiana. Lightning and thunder and some local flooding. My goal is to bike through Chicago to Kenosha, about 114 miles today ... and, possibly make it to my sister’s house in Franklin.

The Bike Writer: Westborough, Mass.
Made it about 15 miles down the road Monday. Travel stress, a time change and beautiful Westborough forced me to stop about 55 miles out of Boston.

The Bike Writer: Unconventional training for upcoming bike tour
In an effort to prepare for September’s bicycle tour I mixed in a bit of unconventional training this weekend pedaling a tandem, alone, from West Bend to Milwaukee. I bought the bike for my parents, and it’s a bit of an antique.
