Enjoyed your last few updates. I can relate about the spiders, but the yellow eyes following you around amused me greatly Nice to read you found some bends and hills, though that Highway 17 doesn't sound like my idea of fun.

Thank you sir. You've got your shiny new bike, though 😀

17 got worse!!
I've redone my route to keep me off it as much as possible.

Great reading your travelogue - I love root beer! It's an acquired taste though!

No updates for a few days, I hope it is because he is enjoying himself and not because Highway 17 got him.

Hobbs, these continue to be a brilliant read, like the old fashioned serials in a magazine, I can’t wait for the next. Although each one makes me more and more envious! It would be huge boots for me to follow/fill.

Guinness is an acquired taste - Root beer is just vile!

In a way my silence was due to 17 - avoiding it by going out into the woods. No WiFi in the woods - but no cars eitherv

Thank you! That's very nice to read.

I'm no mad adventurer, my bike is as basic as they come, my fitness is in my boots, I can't navigate for peanuts. If I can do this, anyone can. It starts with throwing your leg over your bike and cycling somewhere, anywhere,with the intention of having an adventure.
Keep reading, less of the envy, more of the inspiration, please.

Yes, I know! I seriously need to get a grip of myself and do something, maybe not so grand to start with, but something is better than nothing . You’ll be the first hear how you inspired me.

Really enjoying these reports. Trying to visualise the route on a map - has anyone marked one up?

Hi!
HobbesOnTour is on Strava. You can see the daily routes there (including the wrong turns!) and some other photos. I don't think you need a paying subscription to follow.
Thanks for the interest!
