“My friends would say, ‘Later in life, I want to travel,’ or ‘When I retire, I want to have an adventure,’ and I would always ask them, ‘Why not now?'”

– Robert C. K. Young, father of Roderick, grandfather of Elliot

Hi! I’m Roderick Young, and this is my son, Elliot. In 2010, we went on a six-week bike trip starting from Fargo, North Dakota, headed east, mostly following the Adventure Cycling maps of the Northern Tier, Northern Lakes, and Erie Connector. We ended in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, on July 31st.

The Route Map [home] page is the key to navigating this blog. At the top of the page, you can get to a particular day’s post by clicking on the map. The Full Blog page will show you all posts.


We love mail, and would love to hear from you.

Elliot is on facebook, too. You can email him if you can’t find the Elliot Young at UC Davis.

Comments are now disabled on most of this blog, since the trip happened so long ago.  But if you want to leave a comment, email me at the address above, and I’ll get you registered and enabled for commenting.  The email is important, because otherwise a registration will be considered spam and discarded.

p.s. If I’ve put up a picture that I shouldn’t, please let me know; we can fix it. Or if you want the high-res version of your picture, let me know. The blog has low resolution in order to save space.

    Hi Roderick and Elliot,

    Oh dear, being one with the elements (good and bad) is one of the highlights (and downsides) of cycle touring. I send love and prayers that you both continue with great health and wonderful experiences.

    Love,
    Mona

    We just got home from our 2 week vacation and look forward (with anticipation) to your continuing stories from the mid-west.
