What Summer Brings

You never know what the summer will bring. I would never have guessed that I would become the owner of a touring bike or, that I would ride cross country on it. But, here I am, bike in the garage, engine broken in, gear hanging in the closet, bag liners waiting to be filled with a week's worth of luggage and credit card waiting for or, more likely, dreading the opportunity to slide through card readers at gas stations across several states. I have a route planned out and will be booking motels over the next few days.
