The Beers

Alicia and I enjoy many outdoor activities. Alicia has long had a life goal of bicycling across America. It sounded like a great adventure to me. This was an opportune pause in our lives with a recent job loss (May 2009), so with just three weeks of planning and training - we were off.

This trek started May 24th, 2009 from Anacortes, Washington ending 65 days later in Portland, Maine (We had expected 60 days to Bar Harbor, Maine.).

Day 33. Fargo then Cormorant






We are now in Fargo after a quick 32 mile ride from Arthur. It was a good ride. Hot again. No clouds. Wind mostly at our back. :)

Fargo is a nice little town (90,000). We went to the bike shop and topped off bike supplies and are now sitting in the Atomic Cafe having lunch and imbibing in free WiFi. Cell coverage is again strange here. What is with AT&T, I wonder?

Here is a pic taken at 4:41am from our tent in Arthur. It was cool.



We ran across Margaret again today. We had just stopped at a gas station and grabbed a drink and when we got back to the intersection she was there talking with a west bound cyclist about route alternatives. Earlier we ran into a girl and two guys headed west. They started May 2nd from Maine. It is so fun to meet fellow cyclists. Everyone always goes out of their way to stop and share experiences. It's great.
