My Goals for This Blog

    Welcome to my blog. I have decided that my goal over these four fortnights is to travel to a different Casey's General Store every week by bicycle. I will discuss the route, time taken, riding experience, and any other interesting observations I have on my journey.
    One reason I landed on this topic is because I think it will be fun. I enjoy biking and I have not visited all of the Casey's General Stores near me. It is also good for my health, as this is a good fitness activity. Maybe I will also encourage people to bike more, which is good for the environment. That's all I have to say. Below is a map of all of the stores I plan to visit. This map may change. If I am feeling particularly adventurous I may travel to a far out Casey's and camp a night, and then bike back the next day. We will see. If I receive any interesting suggestions in the comments, I will also consider them.

Fairmount Illinois

     Second trip! This was much more of a trip than the previous outing. This time I traveled to the Casey's in Fairmount, which in fact is located in Vermillion county. This will likely be the only trip to another county. During this trip I also added a new piece of technology, my running watch, which will show you exactly where I rode and my pace. Below is the route I decided to take.     Again, the first step to a biking journey is the application of a helmet as depicted below.     As I left, I felt pretty good. It about 55 degrees and sunny. I was wearing shorts and a light hoodie. I felt a bit cold at the beginning, but soon warmed up. As soon as I got out of town though, I began to cool down again. I was facing a 17mph headwind from the east which made the front side of my body quite frigid. Occasionally, I would have to take a turn to go south as part of the route, which made the ride much more fun. I no longer had to fight against the wind...

Sidney Illinois

      In this blog I will be describing my travels to Sidney. This is a bike ride I have done several times before. It is a comfortable route without a large amount of cars. Additionally, the weather was in my favor so I did not face strong winds. It was high 30s with a 10 mph wind from the southwest. Below is the route I took, as well as me in the garage as always right before leaving.          Because my face and neck got cold last time, I decided to wear a ski mask on this trip. In addition, I wore a hoodie, a rain jacket, gloves, and some warmer shoes. In comparison to last trip, I was much warmer overall.      Once I had everything ready, I started my ride as usual and went south on race street. The beginning always feels really good. Unlike usual, I felt surprisingly good throughout the whole ride this time. The majority of the time I had the wind on my back which felt good. Additionally, about 1/3 of the way through, there is...
