6/17 – Screen time outside hostel

271 miles. Beautiful ride through Lookout Mountain, thanks to Win from Bamarides for the suggestion. Goodbye, southern swampiness, hello mountain air! When we rolled in they were shooting a commercial outside the hostel, Crashpad, and gave us $30 to park the bikes in the shot – yay, dinner!  ...

6/16 – Dog wants that feather boa

347 miles today. I’ve been out too late in New Orleans having fun. Riding with Davide this week! He showed up with a feather boa around his handlebars, and I knew it would be ok. It’s nice to know I can cover this kind of mileage in a day,...

6/11 – Powdered Sugarsplosion

I haven’t figured it out, and I may die trying. Thanks for lunch, company, and kindness at Coop’s Place, Anthony!...

6/8 – Road Food Along the Gulf

262 miles. I fell asleep last night in a comfortable, air-conditioned room, to the Science Channel quietly busting myths. Thanks for the restful crash space, Teamr2!...
