Currently I am trying to reign in my eating habits developed over the summer.

Foods being consumed are now on the healthier end, but the portion size needs to go down or... Continue Reading →
On the Road: Clarkston, WA to Mary Hill State Park, WA
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!

On the Road: Day 25 and BeyondÂ
With two weeks off and less than two weeks to knock out a Tennessee to Kansas City (here I come) trip, I will need to get back into fighting shape. Recreating what I did in my last two days of riding will be a feat unto itself. Here is a taste of the last day's... Continue Reading →
Days 8 through 11: Rest Day(s)
After a week on the road and a little inflammation in the knee, I arrived at my dear friends, the Boutcher's home in Sterling, VA. I haven't seen Eric and Elise since Memorial Day of 2016. At that time they just had their son, Dean, and with the recent addition of twins, are up to... Continue Reading →
