PS: The kicker was that I was having severe knee problems at the time and walking on a cane. I kept a folding one tucked under the windshield.

To test whether I could do long days on the bike with a gimpy leg, I did a test run up to Vermont and back a few weeks before the trip.

That same knee is getting replaced next Tuesday (before the trip the doc told me I'd need a knee replacement in 10 to 15 years... he was spot on).

I'm gonna be bionic!
