So...

The girlfriend/roomie is leaving for a week to go to Cleveland to visit friends.

I've been itching to go on an overnight/two night road/bike trip.

I scored a cheapo 2-3 person tent (read, perfect for me and my bike!) at the Army Surplus on Lincoln, just south of Belmont.

I've put together a short list of things I think I'll need, packed them up last night, and it seems like a manageable load for 65-70 miles a day.

Then, I went downstairs to our bike room, looked at all the rusted over beaters that nobody has touched for years, hijacked some old, crusty water-bottle cages, duct taped them to my frame, and VOILA! touring vehicle created!!!

Thinking about heading up to Southern Wisconsin, Kenosha County. I'll find me a nice little hideout near the lake, setup camp, spend the night, do the same thing the next day.

Oh, and I won't forget to take my iPod so when I'm doin' my Yoga near Lake Michigan I'll have some Yanni and Michael Bolton (yeah, THAT no-talent-ass-clown!) to relax to.
