Well, it's 6 a.m. and I'm pedaling off in a few minutes to the Bike Commuter Breakfast, which starts at 6:30 a.m. at Bechtel Park on the north end of the Government Bridge on the Mississippi in Davenport.
It's 46 degrees, so it'll be a bit chilly on the ride. Oh, well. There'll be coffee to warm me up once I arrive. I've got to get pedaling now so I arrive early. One of my brothers, Bad Bob, an avid cyclist, is going to be there, and if I don't show up early he'll have eaten everything in sight.
Afterward I'm going to try to bike across Arsenal Island on my way to work in Moline, so I can visit the National Cemetery, where my parents are buried. However, I don't think they'll let me on the island, as I hear that bikes are still prohibited, a hold-over from the post 9-11 security clampdown.
More later ...
