Bike Trip #3 (17.5 miles)




We started in Morris June 29 (where we started last time) and went the other direction to Seneca & Marseilles. Again it was 11 miles to the nearest water and toilets. We still followed the canal on one side but there were farms with sheep, corn, and soybeans on the other often. Hardly any wildlife except the tiny toad (the size of my thumb nail) that Josie played with in the back of the cart. In the first picture "Our Knight" in his Blue Truck comes to rescue us and buys us supper! What a man! The Kids and I waited for him in a small park in Marseilles.
Xander was speedy this time and I am not sure if it was that he had more air in his tires or the Cor energy supplement I gave him that contained Green Tea and Ginseng! After our ride... He actually ran laps when we stopped at the outside diner and did Jumping Jacks as he waited for Dan to bring him his corn dog! CRAZY KID!
The 2nd picture is a sign that has pretty accurately documented our travels.. we started at Brandon Rd in Rockdale the first trip and have hit every destination through Marseilles... 48 miles to date!
