Kansas Chronicles: Part I – Kansas City, MO to Newton, KS
Kansas was a pivotal state for me. A state with contradicting reviews. Boring was a description, flat, another. Tales of Kansans' generosity and overall kindness reigned supreme no matter what was said about the land. It was a state in which I would meet some amazing people that will forever be part of me. These... 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!

After months of test rides, pestering bike shop employees, self... Continue Reading →

Free time will be spent planning routes, getting last minute travel/touring items, seeing friends, training, reading and... Continue Reading →
Training: Classes
Adair and I attended another free maintenance course with 718 Cyclery, focused on bike basics and flat repair. While I have fixed a handful of tubes in my day, it was nice to see how the shop goes about it, as I am sure it is done on a daily basis. Tube repair principles were... Continue Reading →
