6/5 – Fiery Taste
I have what would be considered (in some places) a high tolerance spicy foods, but Sujeo‘s Phat Thai Basil definitely tested my limit for heat. But it was so tasty, and so many banchan, so delicious… It’s great sharing meals with Ben and Moni, and Madison has a diverse...
6/4 – Dining Table Studio
Thank you to my sister for her patience with me taking over the dining table… for days....
6/3 – Movie Night
Mad Max: Fury Road is a fantastic movie! The last time I saw a movie was also with my sister too, but in California....
6/2 – Canoe City
Tagging along with my sister’s friends…again! It was a provolone moon for the Full Moon Paddle. Bats flitted across the surface of the water, doing their gluttonous best, but the bugs were still out in force. I had a haircut with Jin this morning, and spent the evening with...
6/1 – At Rest
Being back in Madison feels oddly like coming home. I suppose it’s a combination of my sister being here, and already being familiar with the city. It’s lovely to see the life my sister and Ben have built together....
5/31 – Return to Mad Town!
403 miles!! New record! About 270 of those miles were overcast and unseasonably cold. Lucky me, at least the rain quit. I’m back in Madison, WI, and it’s great seeing my sister again! Somewhere before Pearl, IL, I passed the Goldenrod Showboat on the Illinois River. Sam, who was...
5/30 – Archway Anxiety
Remember Chris, from riding around the Ozarks? He picked up a bike in Wisconsin, and was riding home, conveniently via St Louis. Due to rain, Brittany, Myke, Chris and I piled into their car to go to the Arch, and then had some amazing BBQ at Bogart’s Smokehouse. A...
5/29 – City Museum!!
City Museum: I found the place I want to live. Can I live here now?...
5/28 – Picnicking Pros
Apparently I spelled ‘picnicking’ wrong. 98 miles. I managed to catch Elli and Rob on their scoot out to Edwardsville, IL to have her Stella looked at. In the meantime, the cool guys at Moto Italia let me test ride a sweet 1982 Moto Guzzi V50III. It was great...
5/27 – Post-Meeting Rides
49 miles. Working today, and a quick stroll through the Zoo (free in St Louis!) I sat in on 30 Days Scooter Gang’s rally planning meeting. Afterwards, I got to try Anna’s 4-stroke Stella…why hasn’t this scoot been on my radar before? After some Plain & Fancy nitrogen-frozen ice...
