Windy City and Pure Michigan.

Sorry for not posting in a while, things have been pretty busy. Since the last post, I've been back on the bike for several days. I've ridden through Milwakee, Chicago, South Bend, Kalamazoo, and tomorrow we ride deeper into Michigan. Chicago was pretty great. The city is so alive and exciting. I'll definitely be considering making a move here in the near future. My collarbone has also been holding up quite well. Although things did get pretty hairy today. After being in Michigan for maybe 5 miles, a giant mastiff, that was over 200 lbs, ran me down in the street, hitting my bike and nearly knocking me down. I strained my shoulder a bit in the process, but nothing too serious. I'm starting to get very excited for the DC arrival. Now, with it being less than two weeks away, things are getting close. I can't wait to ride into the capital and head back to the greatest state in USA. But until then, I intend to soak up every minute I can of this trip. So far, it's been the most challenging, and rewarding, experience of my life. -J.P.
