If You Just Passed Me...

It was rather nice riding at 3:40 AM if I’m being honest. It sure beats riding in 118 degree weather! It was the first time I've had to...

I woke up at 6:00 AM. Having few things to pack, I was quickly on my way. There was a gas station nearby, and I thought I would refill...

Claudia had left the day before from Jason’s place, so I had the benefit of knowledge from her that getting to Hanksville, NV was harder...

After a relaxing break in Tahoe, I’m back on the road. It took about 20 minutes of riding to officially cross from California to Nevada...

Day 1 wasn't too bad all considering. Despite being my first century (my longest previous ride was about 40 miles), having a loaded bike,...

This morning we had an early breakfast with Doug, the head coach for the El Cerrito High School Cycling Team, which I raced for in high...

The last week has been a hectic scramble to get everything ready in time for the trip. As I write this, it's 11:30 PM and almost...
