I was up early as is usually the case when
traveling, and had the French toast batter ready before the kids started
moving. They hoped to be home by 7
p.m. and with a planned stop in Cape Vincent to see my Uncle Bill and Aunt
Eunice, that meant they needed to get their asses in gear.
I fed the crew and then wolfed down five pieces
myself before putting the final touches on packing the car and driving out of
Donnie’s place. We made good time
to Cape Vincent and managed a 2-hour visit and lunch, which was a great break
for the pain I was continuing to suffer in my buttocks and down my leg when
sitting in the car. If there was
any doubt that I needed to visit Nilesh and figure out what the cause of the
pain was, it was gone now.
The remainder of the drive was basically freeway…and
boring. We arrived home around
7:30, but after emptying the car and putting up the camping gear, it was beyond
any opportunity to exercise.
I set the date to begin the biking portion of Tour
Ohio as August 23rd in an effort to accommodate a couple of riders
who will be joining me. That
leaves almost 8 weeks to get the cycling and hiking legs ready for what will
easily be the toughest thing I have ever done. I really don’t know what to expect and likely won’t have my
answer until the third or fourth day on the cycling trail. If I make it that far and still feel
reasonably decent, I know I’ll make it the rest of the way.
