Covid Cross Day #1 Brooklyn, NY to Chester, NY

Covid Cross Day #1 June 1, 2020 Brooklyn, NY to  Chester, NY - 76.8 Miles Start 7:19 AM Finish 5:01 PM Ride Time 8:20 Ascent 3649 Feet Descent 3234 Feet Tour Total 81.7 Miles Details at:  http://cyclemeter.com/3f1ef27914a4c684/Cycle-20200601-0719-13319 I dedicate this journal to my mom who passed away in December. She relished travel and was an active hiker. I have never been so nervous about beginning a bike tour. The country is ripping apart at the seams because of racial injustice and COVID. I’m worried that this trip might not be a good idea. I’m concerned about my personal safety and fear that I could get stuck somewhere. I’m worried about my home, friends, neighbors, and my dog Blanka. Will I be able to return to my life as planned when the tour is over? Last night I slept OK in my big comfy bed and woke up early. Everything was packed and ready. I had double-checked all of my equipment. Blanka had been brought to Mehiko and Fernando’s the night before. My home felt empty wi

Covid Cross Day #14 June 15, 2020 Courter, IN to Ashkum, IL 125.5 Miles Start 7:27 AM Finish 6:58 PM Ride Time 10.21 Ascent 818 Feet Descent 898 Feet Tour Total 1255 Miles Details at:  https://cyclemeter.com/3f1ef27914a4c684/Cycle-20200615-0727-79626 I slept well last night stealth camping alongside the Nickel Plate Trail next to a cornfield. I set up my tent on a grass tractor path that lead across the rail trail from one field to another. My tent was right in front of a cable that blocked the entrance to the corn field. There were several No Trespassing signs, yet I was on public property. I figured that the nearby farmer wouldn't need to drive his tractor across the trail until after I got up and left. I had set up in the dark last night, and was inconspicuous about my light use.  I woke up with the sunrise and murmur of chirping birds. I had been concerned about being discovered by someone from the farm house up on the hill. A nearby branch snapped and startled me.

I drank quite a few pints last evening at the Helicon Brewery yet managed to safely pedal down the trail to find a good spot. I could hear distant cars from Highway 22 all night long. The crows started cawing at 6 AM yet I was able to get a few more winks. In the morning, I took the tour's first poop in the woods. I had noticed Jewelweed growing around my campsite, which was a cause of concern because Jewelweed grows alongside poison ivy. I didn't see any poison ivy however. I was all ready to go by 8am. It was a bright sunny day. There were various parking areas with picnic tables and out-houses at different locations along
