Bran Voyage!

May 31, 2012
Has your uncle ever talked you into doing something that you have later wondered about?

Armed robbery? Some kind of illegal substance? Maybe going on the annual Bicycle Ride Across Nebraska? Yes! Mine too! So I will see you out on the highways and byways of our fairly husky Nebraska.

I don't think it will be as uncomfortable a jaunt as, say, a covered wagon. But it probably won't be quite as comfortable as cruising from Wyoming to Iowa would be on this mobile loveseat.

Or this extremely wide work pickup truck.

Ever thought of using something a little less bulky for your traffic monitoring activities Good Man?

Much like this pickup truck that has chosen to temporarily reside in an area not specifically designed for it, hundreds of us bicyclers will be flocking across the roads of Nebraska from June 3-9. Should be a fun time. What this means is that I will be unable to access the computer world wide bloggingville for quite some time. It will be tougher for me than you, I'm sure. I will try to be strong. Thank you for your indifference concern.
Here's all the stuff I've thrown onto the floor in preparation for packing up for the longish trip.


The only things I'm missing are my first aid kit and my camera's owner manual. So if I get some really gnarly road rash I won't be able to properly irrigate and dress my wounds, nor present to you a panoramic view of the carnage. Hmmm. I'm not sure which is worse. Actually I am sure that the woundedness is worse, but I have recently had a dream of taking a panoramic photo that I don't have to make panoramic by taping it together at slightly uneven sutures. Speaking of uneven sutures, I may just have to slap some Seam Grip on any wounds I or others nearby happen to incur. I think this might be the wounded cycling equivalent of using JB Weld to fix your exhaust manifold. Wish me luck, and I will be sure to give you a nauseatingly detailed recap of my ordeal adventure if when I return!

Bum Voyage!
