Today is day one hundred and four. He began in mpls and spent his first night sleeping under the bridge which demarcates Wisconsin from Minnesota.

Not much time in the shop, he adjusted his index and then helped his warmshowerhost get a new shift cable.

Corey and I ran into him last evening on our ride home, I think he said he was heading over to pigout. Anyway, we invited him to the shop for some stand time, and I’m glad he stopped in. As I prepare for my own tour it’s nice to talk to others about their journeys.

He went east from mpls, bobbed up into Canada, stopping in Toronto and Montreal, dropped into Vermont, and then rolled down the whole coast to Georgia. He skipped riding, somehow, and made it to Denver, then it was on to Yellowstone and Glacier, and on over to our little love shack. Next up is Seattle and the rest of the west. He’s thinking of just staying the winter in Mexico.

A loose kickstand chipped a hole in his long haul's chain stay, so he filled it in with glue and wrapped it in thin aluminum. That was 2000 miles ago.

Well Shane Carlson from mpls, have a good time! See you later, hasta luego! (he has a blog: thesideoftheroad.us)
