How’s it Feel; Riding Every Day, Camping in the Dirt?
There’s been a solo ride to Alaska, hiking the JMT with no shower for 19 days, crossing the Sahara in extreme heat. And I think this is the stinkiest we’ve been. Use this formula to make yourself physically unappealing: >Go somewhere that’s 96F all day. And humid. >Place a heavy bucket over your head (it […]

Late Nights

Photo Journal 9 – New Tire Time – Tillatoba, MS 6/15 to Little Rock, AR 6/16
We’ve made our way into Arkansas (which is filled with lots of very dusty dirt farm roads!) from Mississippi. The Africa Twin needed a new tire so we headed about 40 miles off course to pick one up from Cycle Gear in Little Rock.
VLOG 7 – MISSISSIPPI TO ARKANSAS

Photo Journal 7 – Hangin with the Wolfs – 6/11 to 6/12 Franklin, TN
We had a fun couple of days taking a break from riding while visiting some friends and family near Nashville, TN.

Why should dollars be flowing from your wallet while you are unaware of your surroundings and unconscious? People pay too much to sleep. We are avoiding that in the name of conserving re$ource$ AND enjoying creative problem-solving. We are camping our way along the TAT. And this enhances our adventure, as we experience more of […]
Photo Journal 6 – Under a Log – Waynesville, NC 6/9 to Franklin, TN 6/10
We’re hitting some obstacles! We had to get our bikes under a log and across a few streams. In these photos we finish our traversal of the Great Smoky Mountains as we travel from Waynesville, NC to Franklin, TN (about 65 miles off route) where we will stay with the Wolfs (some of our family) […]
