		<description><![CDATA[Good evening.  Back again for another cycling adventure.  We have arrived in Waynesboro, Virginia at the Days Inn.  As we pulled up it felt like de javu seeing the two story motel with exterior doors directly into the rooms.  The drive from Indianapolis took us just about 10 hours including a stop at Arby&#8217;s for [...]]]></description>

This morning we crossed the mighty Mississippi River at Chester, IL.  It is a very big river.  Riding into Illinois marks the fourth state, with only one more to go.  To our surprise, Chester is the home of Popeye the Sailor.  And wouldn&#8217;t you know it, today was Popeye Days, with an all day festival [...]]]></description>

Well you can&#8217;t complete a bike ride without a day in the rain, so why not today.  Fortunately it was warm, so overall it wasn&#8217;t too bad. 
We set out just before 8:00 a.m. with the goal of reaching Houston some 80 miles away.  Except for the rain, the ride was much the same as the [...]]]></description>

Today was the first full day in the State of Missouri.  It turned out to be a wonderful, but exhausting ride.  The wind finally calmed, with hardly a breath of air all day.  Fortunately the sun was filtered or hidden most of the day, which made the 86 degrees seem somewhat tolerable.
We headed out from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Always be sure to count your blessings.  Today it could have been sunny and hot, while we rode into a headwind and across rough pavement.  So, we were certainly pleased to have an overcast cool day to tackle one of the more difficult days.

Tom was back to his old self, which he was obviously very [...]]]></description>
