Cross-USA Ride Recap, Week 8, Chicago to Dayton

This week, the ride began in Chicago, stopped in Indianapolis, ends in Dayton and Columbus. See the itinerary.

Next week, the riders dip into West Virginia and make their way to Pittsburgh, resting up for their last week of riding.

Highlights, live from the road:

• Serene reflects on arriving in Chicago and sleeping in a real bed.
• What is the relationship of freedom to biking? And how is that connected to morning blessings?
