Thanks, Keith, I fully intend to keep up my quest for finding and reviewing the finest wines in the world. (Or, at least, the United States. Okay, at least the midwestern U.S.)

That is a LOT of locks you put on the bridge for Freesko!
I also like G-2's interpretation of what Fred said.

Great mini tour!

Hmmm, fishing gloves . . . interesting. I like the idea of gloves with no finger tips. That way I wouldn't have to remove the gloves to operate my phone and its camera.

Somehow, I KNEW you were one of those cool cat philosophy majors. One of my professors--Dr. Driesbach--was also a big Heidegger guy. Martin Buber too. And leave it to Monty Python to get right down to the philosophical nitty-gritty.

Reminds me of a place I ride past occasionally that has a sign on the garage reading “Asshole’s Garage”. I chuckle every time I go by.

You'd be doing a LOT of swerving, on that road. A cop following your wheel track would be tempted to pull you over and administer a sobriety test, and not just for finding a lone cyclist on a loaded bike at the beginning of November.

I imagine the tailwind helped you whip right through these.

A cool idea - maybe even cooler if old buildings were left on their original site and saved and renovated?

G-2 is quite the pragmatist.

I had my flirt with philosophy in college, too. I went for the hair-splitting metaphysical questioning of the nature of reality, does that stuff out there exist anywhere but in my head? What does that mean for the cyclist? Nothing that I can come up with now. Asking what gives life meaning is more relevant. Bumpy roads for example, but headwinds not so much for some reason.

Great review. Keep ‘‘em coming.

Gorgeous building.

Hi,
Well that was different. But I mean that in a good way. It’s just the kind of ride I like to do on my wider-tired bikes. Too bad about the lack of turkeys, though.
Cheers,
Keith

This whole shebang is just Uber-cool.

Probably gone in for a little lunch.
