Depending on the town/city we are in we may also spend time with the new home owner, media/film crews, and community groups, talking about our trip, bike safety, or affordable housing.
Also, during the ride we usually stop off in small towns we pass through, lakes, waterfalls, tourist traps, etc. to meet the community and explore the area, along with breaking up the 80+ miles of travel.
