Lately I have been pretty antsy to get on the bike, load up everything I need, and take off again. . . Due to school that will definitely not happen anytime soon. I have 3-4 trips in the making right now, they are as follows:
Late December - Bike from Owensville, MO to Higginsville, MO (2 days)
Mid-January - Drive to Florida, Tour, Drive back (7 days)
May 16 - (Potentially) Bike from STL to San Fransico (6 Weeks)
After that - Trek to Re-Energize 2010? To DC
It's not like I do not ride enough at the moment, I just dislike riding back to the same place I started everyday. . .
My touring bike will be needing some upgrades before it is even rideable again. A new rear wheel after that blow out incident on the C&O Canal Trail in August. One new set of panniers. My rear Cannondale panniers from the 90's held up but my newer, although cheaper, set started ripping at the seams... They will have to be replaced. The tires should have another 1,500 miles on them... & now that I have a GPS for my Road Bike, I will be able to use that on tour!
Here are a few pictures from when The Trek was crossing the Appalachian Mountains:
