NewMexiKen’s buddy Jon, known to the internets as Johnny Mango, has met a bump in the road. Here, let him tell it (excerpted from Duke City Fix):
[Friday] I am to start a bike trip across America, going from Astoria, Oregon to Yorktown, Virginia. The 4300 mile trek should take about 3 months.
I plan to finish sometime in the middle of October. This is not an organized tour. My buddy Mike Moye is to ride with me to Missoula, Montana and then I’ll be on my own.
I was going to post FAQ’s about the trip, but I’m too depressed for all that. I may not be going. But here are the answers I would have given if I were in a better mood.
1. About 50 miles a day.
2. No, we camp out.
3. In a trailer…it must weigh about 40 pounds loaded.
4. We eat in every restaurant we pass.
5 Sometimes…like whenever we need a shower.
6. I don’t know. You’ll have to ask her.
7. Yes. A Macbook.
8. On Albloggerque.
Jon’s at the doctor’s at this moment to find out what’s wrong with his left ankle, injured recently in a — you guessed it — bike accident.
