After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable. A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go. You ride through Dreamland on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow. ~H.G. Wells

Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day goes by that don't change some of your old notions for new ones, that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow. Jack Kerouac

Here we are, on this dot.

Frank giving directions

Where are we? We're not lost!

Where are we, part II. We may be lost !?

Then the rain came.......

Where are we part III, we are lost !

Southern Accents - Tom Petty

There's a southern accent, where I come from
The young'uns call it country
The yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin'
But everything is done, with a southern accent
Where I come from

don't we pay wheel taxes??

Flynn’s Lick got its name from a man named Flynn who lived here: deer would come to

the creek area and lick for black sulphur which had a salty taste.

For several years the creek was the road. In 1914 Jackson County voted some road bonds,

and the road was taken out of the creek and built alongside the creek..........

Today's song stuck in my head...........

Up Around the Bend - Creedence Clearwater Revival

There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're goin', leave the sinkin' ship behind.

Come on the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.

No words more true......A land of legend, a land of song,

A land of hallowed and heroic memories

TTT?

Ron's best attack of the day!

Southern Ingenuity ???
