Ken was the first in our group that I had met in Astoria - I was still very nervous about the trip - but he was very reassuring and willing to keep an eye out for me. He is one of the only people on the trip who had planned out each days ride and place to stay, so we have been following his scheduled stops. He will be leaving the TransAmerican Trail and the group in Ness, Kansas - where he will be heading north for a family reunion (in Iowa) and eventually reaching Palos Park - just outside of Chicago. Immediately after this current bike tour he will be heading out on a 500mile supported tour -- now that's hard core!

Old Ken looks like his turn ons might be long walks on the beach and sunsets, am I right?
Your making me laugh!!! Glad you are having a good time!! Thanks for the comments about the panniers vs. the trailer. Any other advice, pass it along! Thanks
Paul! I know it's been forever but I wanted to say hi and how jealous I am of your little trip ... Mitch gave me the website and I plan on checking up on you on a regular basis - Looks like you're having a blast -

I like learning about your fellow riders.
So, since you're answering blogs, how psyched are you on what you packed?
Do you wish you had more, less, or different things?
You'll have to reload your ipod with new music when you get to the Springs.
Ride safe and enjoy every second of it.
