Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
Proverbs 4:27
no stats because Bruce is at Jay’s
Today was pretty uneventful. Bruce left around 10 AM on his gravel bike in anticipation of more rough roads. But today was completely different than yesterday. We were mostly on city roads today. Which I hate. For 2 reasons. One: because I worry about Bruce dodging cars and trucks as he navigates these roads. I forget that he has been biking for over 20 years and has navigated situations like this before. Besides his angels are still on the job. Two: because it feels like these roads are too narrow and uneven for Harvey. But I keep reminding myself that it’s just an illusion. If semi trucks can drive these streets, Harvey certainly can. I have to keep my eyes straight ahead. So needless to say, I have no idea what amazing sights I drove by today. Bruce was way ahead of me most of the day. We connected in Rockwell for lunch.
I’m not sure if there was discord in the street planning department or just too many good names to decide on just one, but Fort Worth was full of multi-named streets, making it a little tricky for an out-of-towner to know for sure she was going the right way.
Bruce was able to take several bike paths on his way to Irving to stay with his old high school buddy, Jay. I continued on to Keller to stay with my dear friend, Carmilla and her family. Bruce will join us tomorrow.
Some of you have asked what Harvey looks like on the inside. There are officially beds for 8, but I’m telling you, it would be way to crowded! There is a bed at the back where we sleep, a loft bed over the cab, the couch pulls out to be a bed and you can fold down the table to make a bed with the bench seats. The people that owned Harvey before we did, gave him a major facelift. They painted the wood white, reupholstered the couches, fixed up the bathroom and hung pictures on the walls. We did nothing. But take off the bathroom door and hang a curtain there, so we would have more room. We have a gas stove, gas burners, microwave, fridge and freezer. But sadly, no disposal or dishwasher. I wish I had a picture of the fridge and freezer the day we left because they were so beautifully packed. Marie Kondo would have been proud! So here’s the big reveal (photo creds Mary):
And here’s the rest of the story, when you are traveling with someone riding his bike across the country…
