The very organized day of biking I stumbled into in Chicago. They block off the streets and let people bike down one avenue. I guess it's supposed to encourage biking or raise biking awareness or something like that.

Greg runs a bike shop in St. Charles, Minnesota. Thanks to him I was able to make it to Rochester without having to walk all the way in. He threw in a tube for free and found a barrel adjuster for my gear shifter, a part I'd tried to find unsuccesfully

We arrive in Rochester to find that Eddie's mom, Melanie Kasner, had made us a huge plate of secret-recipe bars with a message for us. That's Tony in the background. We had a feast at the Kasner's and left the next day.

Eddie joined us on his birthday. Before we biked off into the freezing weather, the best we could do was give him some mouth-drying boxed cheese-cake.
