#MeetMeInStLouis – Day 5

Today was a day filled with incredible contrasts and variety. What started as an almost chilly, overcast morning, gradually became a light rain before the clouds cleared almost completely for the afternoon. Though it was close for a bit, I managed once again to keep my raincoat in my pack. The land I made my […]

#MeetMeInStLouis – Day 4

Today was a wonderful day. A slight shift in wind direction, combined with my needing to head mostly south, meant the never-ending gusts I fought all day yesterday helped me much of today. Yet despite covering ground so much more quickly, I was still on the road for nearly as long. This time however, it […]

I leaned my bike against a window on the side of the building, next to […]

#MeetMeInStLouis

Though it was still fairly early in the afternoon, the sun was already much warmer than it had been the first two days of this year’s #RunToBayshore. Sitting sideways on a folding chair I found in front of the Sunoco station kept me mostly within the thin shadow cast by the building. As I drank […]
