So today was my first day riding on my own. Feeling pretty nervous when i woke up and unsure whether it was the right thing to do. Had breaky and a few cups of coffee and left the lovely holiday in by 7.15. Went north into Michigan then west to Indiana saw lots of wildlife on the way inc an awsome coloured red bird and a blue heron which i was about to take a picture of before it flew off. Cycled 52miles without stopping with no problems on the way except for the odd dog chase! Arrived in the bike shop i had planned in good timing where i stayed for a few hours relaxing. they also tought me how to fix chains & spokes, also giving my bike a thorough clean down for me! Sorted out a route on their computer into chicago & bought myself a new toy (gps) as i would no longer have keirs trusty navigation skills!
Found the nearest campsite which i wasn't too fond of, very commercial family campsite also very expensive. Chatted to a few travellers before going to dinner on my tod (violins enter here).
