The first eight hundred miles the ultimate Target was the bearded monkey bike shop. It was not an idle choice. The expertise, Soul, Spirit, goodness, of this team was what this 30000 Mi 48 states attempt needed to make us ship shape. And their store was the only place I knew to get it.

And yes they did. What kindness, goodness, decency, creativity, brilliance. Inspiration.. Wind under our wings. So sad I was to find out my prior visit I already used up my space on Yelp and Google Maps trying to sing the Praises of this wonderful Enterprise.
So few individuals is the world better off for having, and here is a whole Enterprise of them. They are so lucky to have each other. As is Yakima, the world, Sol and I are so lucky.
Thanks to these folks, maybe first thing this morning, Saturday, we start the Trek to Billings.
