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...

It was infinitly more beautiful than I had expected. I made some fantastic riding partners. They helped improve my cycling quite a bit and filled many hours with laughter, entertainment...

I cheated. I cheated myself. I had to rent a car to get across Missouri. There was a beautiful girl expected to land the Friday before the Fourth of July. I would have to cover 325+ miles in two days. Not likely for myself given the previous two days of head winds and need for... Continue Reading →
