Adventures in American Eating

October 9, 2016

The first part of our trip did not bode well on the cuisine front. Once we hit eastern California, restaurant menus were grim and I resorted to ordering hamburgers. … More Adventures in American Eating

Cycling through the Midwest

August 27, 2016

Our cycling days through the midwest have been a blur. With the exception of South Dakota, where we spent extra time visiting national parks and monuments, we’ve been speeding through the states. … More Cycling through the Midwest

Lives Cut Short – Roadside Memorials

August 11, 2016

Initially I planned to photograph each roadside memorial and then realized that I’d end up taking hundreds of photos. Most days we pass at least one, and some days, dozens. … More Lives Cut Short – Roadside Memorials

The Kindness of Strangers

August 6, 2016

Wyoming – We Hardly Knew You

July 31, 2016

Easing Back into the Saddle

July 21, 2016

We May Be Crazy, But We’re Not Alone

June 28, 2016

Across Nevada

May 29, 2016

Traveling across central Nevada on Highway 50 should have been monotonous. There weren’t many highlights, which doesn’t mean it was bad, just that it was all the same. … More Across Nevada

The Sierras are Coming

May 3, 2016

After only two of cycling, today we begin our ascent of the Sierras. It seems unfair that we should have to tackle the Sierras so soon. It would have been nice to really get lots of days of training in and really hit our stride. … More The Sierras are Coming

And We’re Off!

May 2, 2016

Sunday, May 1, was a magnificent day to start our adventure. Perhaps the City was doing its best to echo what we’ve heard from so many friends and family: “You’re sure you want to leave all this?” … More And We’re Off!
