So here I am.

My cousin Denis’s son Daniel picked the bike, the clothes and gear, and me up at the airport and took me back to his apartment in Rosslyn. This morning I’ll head over to Papillon Cycles [link] in Arlington to get the Disc Trucker reassembled and checked out, and then I will have the next two and a half days to bicycle around the greater Washington D.C. area, to include a “must do” ride out the George Washington Parkway to see Mount Vernon.

Expect lots of “bikies” taken in front of DC’s iconic buildings and monuments. Between now and the morning of the 9th I’ll also check out the Georgetown area of the Canal and Towpath. Then, early in the morning on that day, I’ll be loaded up and on my way to Kansas City.
