This morning I pedaled 20.2 miles on my Schwinn 170. My totals are now 25,889.7 miles; 41,665.5 kilometers. I have now completed 988.1 miles or 7.43% of Part V of my journey and trek.
And it looks like I am within one day of reaching my next goal and destination point on Mars. To date, I have finished 92.5% of the distance. I should reach Oxia Colles the next time I cycle on my Schwinn 170. Question is, where to next?

“In Big Brother’s Oceania, doublethink — believing what you are told even while possessing information to the contrary — emerges. In Oceania, people are told that 2+2 equals 5. In Trump’s world, you can lose a billion dollars and two decades later be told that this is brilliant.”
