“Four years of flying in Alaska was extremely fulfilling as well as challenging, but I was definitely burnt out, so that is what led me to the trails of the Great Divide. There are many miles still ahead of me as I ride south, but I’m already viewing this ride as my favorite with respect to all the other touring I have done.”
“I’ve gone through eight jars of peanut butter, I’ve fallen seven times (and hurt nothing but my ego), I haven’t had a flat tire in 3,000 miles (but I bet I’ll get one tomorrow!), and this trip has reinstated my faith in humanity — people are awesome!”
“Even when my butt hurts and my legs burn, it seems that the wheels sing. I get out of my thoughts and into a zone that is the unwinding story of my life. I am riding into the reasons why, and I find a way of being I didn’t know I was looking for. I am met with generosity, kindness, and curiosity, even by those I would otherwise never talk to, or more importantly, listen to.”
