You mentioned Grand rapids MN, and it reminded me that i have a friend who lives in Park Rapids MN. If you end up near there and need a place to stay, i can call and see what he thinks. He's stayed in my home before, and i trust he'd be a respectful host. This is NY Dan, from boonville. From grand rapids that's 116 miles, mostly west ( a touch of south) You know how to get in touch with me if necessary. Jut thought i'd throw it out there.
ReplyDeleteHow can you leave behind a helmet? When you get on the bike, don't you wear a helmet!?!? Tsk, tsk, tsk......bad, Brookie, bad.
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, you'll have a legitimate reason why you left behind a such crucial gear, I'm sure of it.
Keep on biking on, buddy!
My legitimate reason is I left a hotel in a car with Doug and Linda and rode 140 miles in their car. I typically don't wear a helmet in the car and I just simply left it behind in the lobby. How is that for a reason?
