Distance: 93 avg: 12.8 Some days more than others remind me of our physical nature. Especially when you start pushing the limits of your ability. When I first started this trip part of my reason for doing it was to discover what my limits are. People are pretty amazing machines, and can handle some intense…

It feels good to relax and feel human again! My hotel room is quite nice and relaxing. I worked a bit on Mustaches today. I finished up the Ben Franklin intro and moved on to Teddy Roosevelt. I’m pretty happy with the dialogue between Franklin, Tesla, and Twain. Tesla has a few lines to give…

Distance: 48 avg: 12? Well WordPress for IPhone ate my post again, so yet another big “fuck you” from the app. But what can I do about it? I’ll tell you what i can do: it’s open source, so I’ll fix it and charge for my fixed version. 😛 Since I don’t feel like re-writing…

Back in Wichita I had to get some work as a mall cop. I grew this mustache for the job interview. Oh, and I got the Supercuts ‘supercut’.

Distance: 62 avg: 12.2 Missouri is pretty exciting so far! I’ve been enjoying the hills, which are very dramatic. And not to be outdone by yesterday’s weather, nature kicked it up a notch. After a hot, sweaty ride, nothing feels as good as being doused in big cold drops of rain. I could have put…

Distance: 68 avg: 12.7 There are certain questions I thought I’d have to answer on this trip. And then there are questions I didn’t think about at all. Questions such as: Can I survive a night in a tent with 60mph winds? What is the best way to fend off a Rottweiler? How do you…

Distance: 58 to Toronto avg: don’t know Distance: 67 to Walnut avg: 11.9 The heat is almost unbearable. I must have drank 2 gallons of water today. I went to sleep last night and stripped down to my boxers. I was still sweating so I went starkers. A couple cars passed by my campsite, so…

Distance: 62 avg: 13.7 Why hello. It feels like it’s been a while! I’ve been relaxing with my lovely woman in wichita. We did a whole lot of nothing. The new Star Trek movie is awesome. So today I replaced my worn tires and seats, they were thrashed. The weather today was extremely humid. I…

Distance: 50 avg: 14.7 The weather is humid, and it’s probably going to rain any second. But it’s kind of nice outside, and I get to enjoy the lightning bugs! :O Today had very little riding and lots of little conversations with people! So much so that I didn’t get on the road until 11!…

Distance: 58 avg: 11.8 One of my favorite food personalities is Alton Brown. He has an engineer’s perspective on cooking which I admire. That isn’t to say that love isn’t a necessary ingredient in cooking. It’s just that most chef’s don’t talk enough about the difference between say chuck and round steak, or that if…
