Twin cities



Rest day in the rain cities. We only ride 60 miles between camp sites on the east and west sides.  Stopped for a vegan scone, soy cappachino and a new bike pump at freewheel cycle and cafe.  A very cool place.

Location : Midtown Greenway, Minneapolis, MN 55407,

It was great meeting you in Reedsburg WI. I was the guy on the Yellow fade to Blue V-Rex.

Glad you folks made you're goal of our Nations Capital.

Doing a little negative Statistics math of the ROAM:

1. There was a full 33% or 1/3 Attrition rate of riders.

2. Ten percent of the Original 52 riders had very serious issues. Three Velos were in Roll over Accidents. Two riders forced off the road by by cars with one rider actually hit by a 5000 pound car nearly destroying the Velomobile but more importantly the rider was only mildly hurt.

After reading most reports from Velomobile riders of ROAM indicates shocks are needed on anything but smooth asphalt roadways.

Now for some positive statistics: YOU GUYS & ONE WOMAN MADE AN HISTORIC CROSS COUNTRY USA TOUR!

SAFE TRAVELS MERRILL!
