Today is the second leg of my attempt at the R-12 award http://www.rusa.org/awards.html . We'll be using the same authorized route as last month, although it will be a little colder. The officer at the Marion Police Department has signed my brevet card, and after explaining what a brevet card if for, I'm off to my latest adventure. Wish me luck! (On second thought, wish me endurance. Luck has less to do with long distance cycling than endurance.)
