Thanks for stopping by and welcome to my first ever blog. My writing is guaranteed to be unsophisticated and banal so I hope to mostly entertain you with photographs and short captions...
...I plan on getting my ass off the end of this pier sometime in the next few days and will be riding my bike from Lake Waccamaw, NC to Muskegon, MI (via Asheville, NC and Athens, OH) and then ferrying to Milwaukee, WI and finishing up the tour in Madison, WI. It's 1000 or so miles with lots of mountains in between - please keep me in your thoughts. If you have any suggestions on places I can't miss in between let me know. Here is the general trajectory for the first leg of the trip:

I've decided to ride this time other than the "hell of it." I'll be lugging around a cast iron skillet this time and purchasing my food from local producers and opening and closing each day with a home - or camp - cooked meal. I've also pursued some work/trade opportunities through the website HelpX.net. I anticipate that I'll have to cheat sometimes and will be carrying a jar of peanut butter and some Clif Bars in case I need the energy to power me up dem mountains. So with cast iron skillet-in-pannier and a fetching country song in my head I shall roll out of here any day now. Yeehaw.
