Woke early, took a walk with Barb and Dan, rode thirty miles, stumbled across a gorgeous Northwoods bike path, rode some more, stopped in Mercer to read and sign books for a super-engaged crowd, got back on the bike, rode thirty-five more miles into sunset headwinds, saw three wild turkey and two deer and one bear cub, arrived at a lakeshore home in Butternut, showered, got fed brats and homebrew, goofed off with my hosts granddaughters, and finally, I faceplanted into this bed, where Ive spent the last fifteen minutes staring at the ceiling and drooling and wondering if every day on the tour will be this varied and full and exhausting. Sure hope so.
