What Gear Do I Have With Me?
The Gear is always a topic of concern on this trip. Making sure that I have what I need but not bringing everything that I can possibly think of. I spent countless hours leading up to this trip attempting to think through all possible scenarios and what I might...
Baton Rouge LA to Lake Providence LA – The Storm
Leaving Baton Rouge I left a little later than I normally do so that I could spend most of the day walking around the lake with my girl friend before we weren't going to see each other for 3 weeks. I hit the road around 1:00. My destination was 200 miles north up the...
New Orleans to Baton Rouge – Tire Shrapnel
This section of the trip was one of the shortest that I've had on this journey so far. It was 87 miles from the Airbnb in New Orleans to the center of the LSU campus in Baton Rouge. My girlfriend got us a night at the Cook hotel which happens to be on the LSU campus....
Four Days in The Big Sleazy
I landed in New Orleans (first time ever) on Thursday around 12:00. The previous night was spent camping in a Palm Tree Nursery, amazing! I followed the Google Maps to my Airbnb which was in the French Quarter area. I immediately panicked at the fact that I was going...
Lake Providence LA to Memphis TN – Meeman-Shelby State Park
Morning Ride Leaving Lake Providence in the morning was chilly. On top of that, most of my gear was still soaked from the massive monsoon that I was caught in the night before. 55 degrees isn't too bad but 55 degrees with soaking wet gear at 75+ MPH is FREEZING....
St Joseph Peninsula Florida to Mobile Alabama – 245 Miles
Early Morning The day started Earlier than normal. The scare with the wild boar/bear/bunny... whatever it was had me spooked and it was tough to get a good nights sleep. Also it's impossible to sleep in when camping. I was up at 6:00 am. This is not a time that I...
Jacksonville to St Joseph Peninsula State Park – 260 Miles
Heading West on Highway 10 I got up and hit the road around 9:30. I had a long day of flat/straight highway ahead. I took I-10 west out of Jacksonville. After about 2 hours of highway 10 I headed south to get off the main highway for a bit. This detour took me through...
Asheville to Charleston Complete – 286 Miles
The first leg of the trip starts with a ride from Asheville, NC to Charleston, SC. I convinced my friend Jack to ride along with me and hang in Charleston for a few days. It was nice to have a riding buddy for the first part of the trip. We took the long route from...
Custom Pannier Box Attachment Saddle Bags
Pannier - "basket, especially one of a pair carried by a beast of burden" When I purchased my bike it had some nice panniers already attached. They were expandable BMW boxes but just weren't going to cut it for this trip. I found a pair of aluminum boxes on Craigslist...
