The modern “road trip” is one that millions of people can appreciate. With the blog, or maybe even with micro-blogging, of course, the trip can be chronicled in simple, tiny, lovely little updates. Here we’ve got an amazing example that originates Grand Rapids, MI, and moves, on bicycle exclusively, toward Portland OR. It’s updated by a couple of hug-n-kissers named Geoff and Sarah. Poems and pics! BONUS NYC to LA HDBPolo.

A friend of a friend of a friend by the group name of The Brilliance is to get props for me finding this amazing fantastiscovery. See an example of a poem used as an update here: it goes with the flag picture you see above:

As stated before, on the road at 7:30 yesterday morning.
Hartville, MO to Ash Grove, MO.
76 miles.
We slept in the city park where I was offered a personal escort to the courthouse bathroom by the mayor herself .
Home of Daniel Boone.
Today found us on the road by 7:00 am to outrun another storm.
Ash Grove, MO to Pittsburg, KS
70 miles before 1:00 pm.
Adjusting our legs to a welcome lack of hills.
Geoff was chased uphill by a skunk.
The rain caught us 1 mile outside of town.
Turn onto Main St. found our first flat tire.
Welcome to Kansas.
Conveniently we were 2 blocks from the first bike shop in days where we ran into the guys we met in Farmington.
Severe storms forcasted for tomorrow.
Rest day.

- Sarah
