Another huge day saw Matt into Minneapolis on Tuesday. 220+ miles, loaded. He's about 2 weeks ahead of schedule already.
As someone who has done extensive bike touring around the world, I often wonder why people do those kind of miles? There is so much to see and enjoy about bike touring but it's much better if you take your time, look around and meet people from all over the place. He will remember so much more if he would take his time. If you bike to exhaustion, and then repeat again and again, you lose the desire and it becomes a chore and he won't remember much about the trip. Everyone can choose to do it their own way of course but if I could offer any advice, I would say slow down, enjoy the trip and the freedom and you will never regret it.
Most of his days have been much shorter. He's well aware of the benefit of meeting people along the way. At least that was my impression from him after he spent the night at our place after day 2.
