Just wanted to give a quick shout out to a few companies that have been nice enough to send us stuff to keep us warm, dry, and taking as many pictures as possible. Thanks to Janice Nickloff at Burton for the rain jackets. You always know you're getting the best shit when you get Burton.…
BIKE ACROSS AMERICA
A day on the Katy Trail
No I don't have a real tripod with me. Click on the 360 on the bottom and make it 720.
Um……what do we do now?
Listen up people!! WE ARE STILL DOING IT. If there was any doubt whether there were two guys out in the middle of the country still doing it, we would like this to be a clear statement that it's still mother F'ing on. You might be thinking "How long is this going to take?" Well,…
Vacation from vacation
I'm sure the first thing everyone says to themselves when they read this blog is "damn, when are these guys gonna take a vacation?" The time has come. About a week and a half ago we called our good buddy Kevin from Des Moines and told him he should drive down with some bros and…
After 30 days I looked up
Heath and I both, on the same day, had a revelation. It only took us both a month, but we've finally figured out that we probably shouldn't only be looking forward to stopping, but to the actual riding time too. It makes perfect sense though. The act of pedaling the bike isn't fun, the seat…
Ride, eat, ride, eat, rinse, repeat
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. *That* was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get *that* day over, and over, and over... -Bill Murray Groundhog Day Kansas is unbelievably uniform. Most of the highways we've…
Back to business
Ok, 75 miles today. My legs hurt. Adjust, get comfortable. How far is the first town? OK, I'll ride twenty then eat something. I hope the wind doesn't pick up. There's the mile marker sign. Don't look at it. Don't look at the bike computer. Find a good song. I need to take more pictures.…
Let’s face it, everyone is a cyclist
First off, thanks to everyone who comes to the blog and reads what I have to say about our bicycle extravaganza. Second, there is no fucking way we're quitting!! Unless one if us gets hit by a car, falls deathly ill, or we get snowed in until spring, we are DOING IT! So why in…
Let’s face it, we were never cyclists
I never would have thought that the plains would be this discouraging. I guess we always assumed that it would be cold weather or mountains, but riding into the wind is the worst possible scenario, and it looks like it could be like this for a couple weeks straight. Not to mention, it just going…
Wind n’ shit
Now that we've officially entered the plains, the wind is a real son of a bitch. When we woke up from under our rock yesterday morning, we were greeted with what seemed like a little wind. Well, the first few miles were devastating. It took us 30 mins to go 3 miles. With 56 miles…
