...going to be about 10-15 miles longer than usual, and the rest/food stop will not occur until  approximately mile 40. I want to take you to a special destination, and I can't see how I can do it without adding the extra miles. The weather should be nice! Please plan accordingly (extra snacks, more time budgeted for the ride, etc.)

I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!!
