The last weekend in August! I’m preparing today to leave for my Ride Across Indiana tomorrow. I’ll ride from where old US 40 fades away near the Illinois state line (right here) and head east. I’m staying in Terre Haute Sunday night, Cloverdale Monday night, Indianapolis Tuesday night, Dunreith Wednesday night, and Richmond Thursday night. Margaret is dropping me off at one end and picking me up at the other!
