Wow, tracking the passage of time is a difficult task. It feels like yesterday that I was lost in the world, relying on the things attached to my bike. Since my last update, my life has changed unimaginably. Here is a quick update on the situation. After spending a few weeks in Des Moines, it was time to leave my...

Words cannot describe the joy I felt to be back in the motherland. Unfortunately, trekking half of the country does not satisfy my taste for adventure. These past two months have been some of the toughest and most rewarding days of my life. Time to relax and catch up with homies. See you soon.

This was the earliest morning of the entire trip. I had everything packed up and started pedaling around five in the morning. Darkness consumed me, but my shitty amazon bike lights provided me with enough visibility. As I navigated through the gravel roads, the red lights atop the windmills blinked brightly. It felt like a dream while I conquered...

It was another early morning for me. There was a yoga class nice and early, and I wanted to be outta there before it started. I may have scared the shit out of the yoga teacher opening up the studio, she was definitely not expecting me. It was not too difficult to navigate downtown to the pedestrian bridge. Right...

I was warned that my room stayed rather dark in the morning. This was accurate, and I slept in later than I should have. It did not take long to find the coffee, and my meal was a few slices of toast with butter and jelly. After packing up, it was back to the road. Thanks again Keenes! Navigating...

The morning started out marvelously. Jeff and I woke up extra early and hit the road. We stopped at a cafe in Aurora for breakfast. I had a mushroom and swiss omelet, hashbrowns, toast, and two cups of coffee. It was subpar but better than an energy drink and peanuts. Jeff drove me a few more miles down Highway...

Once in Brady, I helped myself to a beef stick, iced coffee, and a water bottle refill. The dark storm clouds dissipated, but the wind stuck around. It took thirteen miles to get to Gothenburg, another city name that I am fond of. After a quick stretch, I continued down the highway. My next destination was Cozad, which housed...

I was up early enough. For the second time this trip, I arose to a flat tire. Having learned from my first tube tearing, I now had two tubes in my inventory. As I inspected the tube and tire for discrepancies, a tiny thorn was located. After removing that, I was unable to locate a tear on the tube....

My morning was an early one. After preparing my bike, I set off for the day. My route started through the backcountry. It felt familiar to be immersed in these fine farmlands. There was a grand diversity of crops covering this calming area. Eventually, the pavement came to an end, and I turned off onto a sand road. At certain...

It was much colder last night, and sleep was shockingly satisfactory. When I woke up, my first move was to start working on my Chromebook. After typing up a few things, it was time to pack my bike. My limit was set for seven days in Denver, and I enjoyed every moment of it. This was my longest sejour...

Sleeping in a sauna was doable, and getting up early was easy. John and I drove to the grocery store to gather the necessary ingredients for breakfast. This morning's market run was interesting to me, but I still cannot pinpoint why. After some shopping, we found an espresso bar in a charming neighborhood close by. The espresso was sadly...
