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: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Hit the road from Conneaut, Ohio early Sunday morning. Back to back 100-mile days have left me a little spent, and I’m looking to take it a bit easier today.

The Bike Writer: From the back of a police car
Made it 102 miles on Saturday and biked from New York, through Penn to Ohio. Got in about 6 p.m. and secured a church for the night.

The Bike Writer: Great Barrington to Arcade, N.Y.
Got into a bit of a fix on Wednesday. Hot weather and hills sapped my strength quickly and I bummed a ride over the final mountain of Massachusetts.

The Bike Writer: Biking Chicago
I spent the weekend bicycling around Chicago. Threw the bike in the car and headed out. Weather was sunny and in the 70s. I exited Tower Road, pulling into a parking lot near a bike trail and with no particular plan I followed another biker named Don.
