When planning an event as big as ‘50- States in 50 Weeks’ with a motorcycle and pop top trailer, some things simply must be done before leaving.

I wanted to do a hundred mile bicycle ride before our trip, and this weekend provided the opportunity. Perhaps I asked for too much. 

As I pedaled along the bike trail, something shot out from the left of my peripheral vision. A coyote!
