From the road -- Athens, OH

Hi Y'all!

Had a good morning ride today from Jackson to Athens. The temp has hit 80, so we are breaking until evening. We found a great bike shop in Athens and they are outfitting my bike with high-powered headlights and a large flashing red light in the back. We even got a high-powered light for my helmet.

Why? To look even cooler? No. You guessed it, we are going to get serious about night riding. If we want to make it to New York by the end of next week, there is just no other way.

Oh, and we've changed the route, eliminitaing DC to make sure we stay on schedule for the finish.

Will I make it? Will I be recruited by GQ Magazine for their next cycling fashion issue? Keep reading and see.

See ya!
