Upon arrival in Bemidji I had a 1 mile hike to the hotel where I had a reunion with my disassembled bicycle (in box). My other gear came with me on the flights out.
Join me on a one month bicycle adventure along North America's greatest river system, the Mississippi. I will be traveling with 3 other adventure touring cyclists from the birthplace of the Mississippi to arguably the birthplace of rock & roll, Memphis. Check in daily and follow us along the bike paths, rail trails, and roadways. See the sites and meet some people along the way as we pedal and eat our way down to Memphis. The adventure begins September 4, 2022.

Arrival in Bemidji
Bemidji, MN is the closest point of civilization to the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Cindy, Doug, and Wendy drove up from Iowa. Flying into Bemidji is the other viable option that I chose. My flight plan took me to Minneapolis first. Here is a shot of downtown Minneapolis situated on the Mississippi River. We should be riding through here in about a week. It took an hour for Delta Airlines to find a pilot capable of flying a 737-900. A pilot flying the Connecticut route got voluntold to get us out of Detroit air space and on our way to Minnesota.
