Oh, hello, Guth...
My mom lives in Champaign, Illinois. She's 94 and still sharp. 4 years ago I rode my '14 Standard from OR to Illinois over 3 weeks: 1 week there, 1 week stay and 1 week making my way back visiting family in Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. I'd love to do this trip again, but choose a slight different route out and back.
My daughter may be doing research in NJ or NY this summer and so I thought maybe this is the time to ride across the country. Been wanting to for a long time, but honestly, not sure if I'm up for it. Well, I think I'd ride there ok, but it sure is a long way back home!
Small world. The last time I ever saw my grandmother (my mom’s Mom) we ended up dining in Champaign. I was actually born in the neighboring town of Urbana.
