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 fiancĂ©! While "end" is written, what is intended is the close of a chapter. The last night of the tour, our Warmshowers host... Continue Reading →
I wrote this post while sitting at Oregon State University in Corvallis listening to lectures about a pending eclipse.

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 →

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...
