New Website

Adelphi, MD

I have created a new website which describes my various adventures, including this one.  So I won't be posting to blogspot any more - I have copied this blog to the new website.  To keep up with my doings go to www.davidowenroberts.com.  To see this blog click on Biking from Maine to Florida.  You will be able to comment on a blog posting that is less than 30 days old.

I will be heading south on my bike in another couple of weeks.

Home again, temporarily

Adelphi, MD

It rained my last night on the C&O Canal towpath and my bike got a little muddy on that last leg to home.  So when I got home I hosed it off and did a load of laundry.  It was a delight to walk into a clean, orderly, spacious, comfortable, familiar space.  What a luxury after almost seven months of living outdoors.  And the mail!  Piles and piles of it.  So I have much to do before heading off again to Florida.

In Point of Rocks, Maryland, I met another long-distance biker and we had a long talk about our respective adventures.  Come to find out he knows the people at the bike shop in Brunswick, Maine, where I stopped for repairs and purchases.  So he took my photo to send it to them.  This is the last photo of my seven-month beard before I shaved it off.



Current plans call for my old friend Gregg to ride with me to North Carolina to visit a mutual friend.  But this won't happen for more than a month, so now is the time for a little hiatus.  More later.
