I’m in Escalante, UT. I’ve been riding through the desert for several days now, so water has been scarce, libraries few and far between, and cell phone service has been non-existent. For the second time, my parents have called my phone which I cannot answer, left voice mails which I cannot check, and sent emails . . . → Read More: Day #54

Here’s the photos I took from Colorado. The state is BEAUTIFUL; there’s a ton! I’m in Telluride, CO. The MS guys have a scheduled rest day here. While they’re out riding mountain bikes down the bare, melted ski slopes, I’ve been working on creating a soft copy of my route to Berkeley/San Fransisco. Yesterday we made up for all the downhills of the day before with a climb, downhill, . . . → Read More: Day #48 I’m in a KOA about a mile past Gunnison, CO. This place is super nice. It’s one of those RV camp sites that costs a fortune with so many luxuries, you can’t even call it camping. Thankfully, I just blend in with the other 26 MS guys, so I dodged the whole “payment” thing entirely . . . → Read More: Day #46 I’m in Pueblo, CO. 2 days ago I decided to bike ahead of the MS group 60 miles for a total of 110 miles–my second century+ on this trip. As it turned out, the potentially terrible weather gave us a fantastic tail wind, so they all decided to stick it out and make it to . . . → Read More: Day #43 I’m in Dighton, KS. Today the MS group (and myself) started in Larned, and we’re headed to Scott City–a ~120 mile trek! I only have another 20 miles to go, and got here just before 5. We were going to shoot for 150+ miles, but the crosswind today is killer (though, there were a couple . . . → Read More: Day #37 Here’s a video I took in the morning before leaving Nickerson, KS: Right now I’m in Newton, KS. I’ve managed to keep up with these MS guys. Two days ago we did ~60 miles, yesterday we did 99 miles, and today we’re shooting for the upper 80s. It’s been tough because they’re riding on ultra light road bikes and touring bikes with only a few pounds extra . . . → Read More: Day #35 I’m in Pittsburg, Kansas. 2 nights ago I slept in the park of Ash Grove, MO. I shared the space with Rocco–another cross-country cyclist going from San Diego, CA –> east. Check out his site at: whereisrocco.blogspot.com. Also, shout out to Turner–a local of Ash Grove; thanks for the great chat, man! The next morning . . . → Read More: Day #34 I’m in the Public Library of Marshfield, Missouri. Marshfield has a population >5,000, so it’s one of the larger towns that I’ve seen in a while. With the exception of the librarian Nazi, the people I’ve met so far in Marshfield (at the supermarket) have been great. About a dozen people asked about my trip . . . → Read More: Day #32 |
