Happy Labor Day Weekend, everyone! Back in NYC, it feels as though I haven't left. To my surprise the city did not shut down when I departed on May 10th. The hustle and bustle of one of the greatest cities in the world, is the same as it ever was. Fading tan lines are the... Continue Reading →
Post-mortem
On August 24, the great Trading848 Summer of 2017 experiment came to an end. Tonight I will be boarding a red-eye back to NYC to be reunited with friends, family and my fiancé! While "end" is written, what is intended is the close of a chapter. The last night of the tour, our Warmshowers host... Continue Reading →
Push for the PCA
I wrote this post while sitting at Oregon State University in Corvallis listening to lectures about a pending eclipse. At this point, I am 95% (3900 miles) in to my journey which has taken just over 3 months. In November I decided that I would undertake a cross country trip, in March I partnered with...

On the Road: Clarkston to Walla Walla, Washington
Yesterday was an interesting day. Rode 99.5 miles from Clarkston, Washington (new state!!) to Walla Walla. Thank god I got a new wheel as the terrain was desolate and services far and few between. My rear wheel appeared to be out of true for the two previous days. I took it to a bike shop... Continue Reading →
On the Road: Dubois, WY to Ennis, MT
I am currently on day two of a rest period in Missoula, Montana. This is because Monday morning when we woke up freezing, we decided that it may be a good idea to push 120+ miles into the biggest city we've seen in quite some time. There was an open ended warm showers host that... Continue Reading →
On the Road: Saratoga to Dubois
Finally some consistent internet time... I am now in Wisdom, Montana, camping stuff an RV park next to a green pool of still water. Needless to say I am confined to my tent or the bathhouse out of fear of mosquito swarms. In an effort to catch up on the many days from my last... Continue Reading →
