  • RV Trip Day 6: Badlands to Mt. Rushmore

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 19 days We made a bit of a change to the schedule. Originally, we planned to take an extra day at the Badlands, but with temps over 100 degrees, we decided to keep moving and take a day off when we reach Cody, WY, after our one-day stop at Mount Rushmore.…

  • RV Trip Day 5: Sioux Falls to Badlands

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 20 days It’s Sunday, a day of rest, but Brian had an 8-hour work meeting. This happens from time to time. A technical meeting that was supposed to be an hour or two somehow becomes a day-long event. So, I took advantage of the morning and found some gravel roads near…

  • RV trip Day 4: Sparta, WI to Sioux Falls, SD

    Countdown to cross-country bike trip: 21 days No riding today. We took advantage of a Saturday morning and slept in a little bit. Got on the road around 8:45 am local time (Central). This was our longest day of driving, 380 miles. Arrived at the KOA in Sioux Falls around 3:30 pm. It’s slow going…

It was so peaceful and beautiful, and the owners had a good sense of humor! Given our good experience, I’m looking at options for our…

  • RV Trip Day 2: Sandusky Ohio to Indiana Dunes State Park

    RV Trip Day 2: Sandusky Ohio to Indiana Dunes State Park

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 23 days We’re working our way across the country. Today’s drive was mostly I-80/I-90 through Ohio and Indiana…straight, flat and frankly kinda boring. But, we made it to Indiana Dunes State Park (and National Park). I was able to get a quick ride in on the trails, some paved and some…

  • RV Trip Day 1: State College to Sandusky, Ohio

    RV Trip Day 1: State College to Sandusky, Ohio

    Countdown to cross-country biking: 24 days And, we’re off! Brian and I left this morning to drive across the country. Hard to believe this is really happening after three years of planning. In just 24 days my friends and I will start biking from Washington state back to Washington DC. But, first, Brian and I…
