Belgian solidarity!

Yes sir, it's that time of year! We have a friend in common who is set on coming along, so I'm content that I've at least got one companion. I've done some route cleaning, upgraded my bags, gear, and tent, switched to solar power, made arrangements which should make the ride a bit cheaper, backed up the route to my phone, bought new tires, etc... I'm going to stay in west Madison an extra day, so I won't be around to shepherd anyone home. Also, all the bridges along the Glacial Drumlin have been completed, so bring your trail pass or you'll be reminded to get one!
