Time to Go!

Day Zero -- All my bags (or, I should say, panniers) are packed and I'm ready to go! I start my 3,000 mile bicycle trek down the Mississippi River Trail (plus additional mileage for construction detours, wrong turns, side trips, etc.) tomorrow morning. My good friend Mike Pederson is letting me hitch a ride with him to his family's cabin near the Headwaters in Itasca State Park. The ride starts tomorrow morning. The forecast high in that area for tomorrow is 90!
