I began this journey on the beaches of San Diego by quoting Helen Keller, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” Well I’ve been on countless daring adventures but none quite like this. Instead of focusing on the physical aspect, I wanted to take this opportunity to dive deep into my [...]
I’m sitting here in Tarpon Springs Florida, there’s a warm breeze flowing through the palm trees, the sky is crystal clear and it’s blasting 80 degrees of pure summer lovin’ warmth on my face! This is the way I envisioned the weather when I escaped from a cold, snowy Boulder over a month ago. [...]
I’ve been singing the songs of the great Louis Armstrong ever since crossing the border into lovely Louisiana. Everyday I see trees of green, not so many red roses, but unlimited skies of blue, clouds of white and I have ample time to think to myself about our wonderful world. I love everything about Louisiana, [...]
I’ve had A LOT of time to think lately. 8-10 hours a day on the bike allows for some serious pedal powered pondering.

I’m proud of Nick. He’s one of the toughest guys I’ve ever met but he’s definitely not a cyclist. He looks like a Silverback Gorilla on a childs BMX. This isn’t easy for him but he’s pushing through the pain, much like he was doing one year ago as we suffered together in the jungles [...]

I love riding my bike, plain and simple. It feels amazing to be back on the road, eating beans, sleeping under the stars (and full moon) and moving my body…and mind. Someone asked me recently how I maintain the inspiration to pedal day after day. Well…It’s like anything in life, you power through it. [...]
I’m hitting the road once again, here’s my kickoff video from the sunny shores of California. I’m riding from San Diego to Florida and my good friend Nick will join me in Tucson for the adventure of a lifetime.
A loud knock on my hotel door grabs my attention, but I’m already awake. It’s 4am. I’ve been unable to sleep soundly for many nights now. I’m restless like a child on Christmas Eve. Finally! This is the signal we’ve been anticipating all week. The nine of us have been living in a state [...]
I had the pleasure of diving in a giant mud puddle with my new buddy Rick this weekend at the Columbia Muddy Buddy. Our team name was Three Legs and a Peg…watch the video to find out why.
