I’m Not Dead

So sorry for the lack of updates. I rode into Washington DC and was so overwhelmed by the temporary return to the real world that I stepped back from the blog for a wee minute. Expect a huge update full of broken bikes, bonnaroo and photos galore. Hope I haven’t lost all readership, back to [...]

Trying Not to be Cursed

Took my time getting out of the motel this morning, as usual, and hit the road. The weather was great which I was relieved at. The goal today was only 35 miles or so. Still, the route has been getting hillier than usual and a short day was appreciated. A few miles in a black [...]

Baby Christmas trees
Apparently this year has been a ridiculously record shattering year in terms of numbers of tornadoes in the US. So far, I have had tornado watches or warning on about 5 different occasions.

Off the Maps

For the last 3 days, and the next 2, I have been off of the Adventure Cycling maps. It seems like for this section approaching Richmond and DC, the route is unnecessarily complicated and skips over lots of places to stay including a bunch of cheap motels, and the state park South of Richmond that [...]

2 Months? Crayzay.

The last month kind of flew by. I have started to get into a noticeable groove in my riding and spend less of my time worrying about where I am heading and overall paranoia. Which is good. Today itself was a short 35 miles that lead me to a very strange and pretty vacant RV [...]

Had to Happen Sometime

**Sigh** I got a flat. My first flat of the trip, to be specific. I guess it had to happen sometime, though I do put the blame on these new Panaracer tires, which I haven’t been a fan of since I got them back in Charleston. This was actually the first time I have ever [...]
