I am on sabbatical this summer [about time if you ask me!] and have decided to spend it mostly on the road. A time of reflection and renewal [and clearing my brain -- no comments on that one, please].

Sabbatical starts the beginning of June and ends the beginning of September.

2 weeks to "decompress" in town, a convention until the end of June, and away I go.

Planning is underway . . . I head out the 19th to KW, the 20th to Ann Arbor, and the 21st I'm in Indy. Ride planned for the 22nd, then in meetings until the 27th when I leave for Winnipeg.

A question, oh those who have travelled the roads . . . is it better to take the 65-94-29 [or some off-roads], the 74-80-94-29, or the 80-29. Or . . . hey, I'm up for suggestions, but I should be in Winnipeg by Saturday the 29th [though I can always delay a day]. I don't expect snow, but will hunker down if there is a solid storm . . . after all, I kinda don't need to be anywhere anytime, it's just my own schedule.

And I'm glad to stop for coffee anywhere on the way if anyone is nearby.

A week in Winnipeg, on the road to Saskatchewan on the 6th. Must be in Calgary the 13th. Then two weeks until my next "must be" [Okanagan Valley].

Leave Kelowna the 8th of August for Vancouver then the Island [there's a road between Nanaimo and Ucluelet that I'm dying to ride] . . . then I make my way back east.

Next question: via Canada or the States [I-90, I-94 though I'm again open to suggestions].

Back home by the 28th or 29th of August.

This is an honest call for suggestion . . . jump right in [but don't be mad if I don't take everyone up].

Oh, and there are financial considerations as well . . . I am not being reimbursed for travel!
