The Long Ride Q&A
Hey there! What questions do you have about the ride? I want to make a few videos about answering the questions friends, family and clients may have about the ride, my experience, my thoughts, and anything I haven’t necessarily been hitting in my daily videos. Ask away in the comments, and I’ll build answers into…

Day 10: Out Living It
Good evening. I am doing this video from Prairie City, Oregon after having ridden about 45 miles with about 1400 feet of climbing, so really easy day with tailwind all day. Actually, we’ve had a tailwind for the last three days so now I’m worried we’re going to pay for that at some point with…

Day 9: Take The Easy When It Comes
Good afternoon. Early day today, we rode just 39 miles. There were 5 miles of climbing that took us about 1800 feet up and then downhill the rest of the way with a tailwind. We rode from Mitchell to a small town called Dayville. We stayed in Mitchell at a hostel, which is actually a…

Day 5: I Cried
Good evening. This is actually the end of day six, but I’m recording for day five. Day five got out of hand a little bit. The title of this video should probably be “I cried.” Day five was from Eugene to a place called Dunlap. In Eugene we stayed with dear friends of mine, Allison…

Day 4: Practice What You Preach
Good evening. Here I am at the end of day four, currently in Eugene, Oregon, staying at good friends of mine, Allison and Andy Lewis’s home. This is a house that I stay in quite frequently as I do a fair amount of work here in Eugene with her, so it feels really good to…
