This is what we photographers call an action shot. If you enlarge this image you'll see Mike up there. Until Carbondale, we rode together. Then he mentioned that he had left his cue sheet at home. I gave him a spare I was carrying (I told you I always carry two of everything!). Now he doesn't need me, as you can see. Note to self: If you want others to ride with you, be the only one who knows where you are going!

In fact, he told me that he was going to text his family at each stop. They are following our journey on an internet map he left for them. By the end of this ride, he will have had enough time to text his family considerable portions of War and Peace waiting for me to reach the designated stops.
