Totally enjoyed reading this, though I admit I'm a bit jealous. I'm lucky if I can get a two-hour ride in on any day. Enjoy!

Wow, what an adventure! Small town America has a heart too.
Hope the pie was good.

Glad to see you made to my hometown. I've shopped at Cape Cyclery, too. The building used to be the Honda/Mazda dealer.
I'm wondrering if the "wheat" you saw was Sorghum or Milo. It's a fairly common crop around there.
"Ste. gen" is one of my favorite town. Ther ride up should be fun.
Thanks for keeping us up to date. My Mother is a survivor,too, but at her age everyday is adventure.

What a great trip. Keep the updates coming!
I'm guessing the winter wheat is maturing early because of both heat and the drought. Either will contribute, both together is a double whammy. I don't know if it's been as unseasonably warm where you are as it has been in the eastern US, so maybe it's only drought.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
