Chapel Hill, North Carolina

So my ride across the United States is complete; and yet, I am left unfufilled. While the ride was absolutely incredible, it instilled in me a newlyfound desire to see the world by bicycle. It seems to me that my glass will be perpetually half full.

I have resigned my self to a life of continuous travel and exploration. And I have decided that the only way to travel is by biking, whereby I become part of the scenery. The purpose of this blog here on is to document my travels as I see more and more of the world, inch by inch and mile by mile.

Later this month, my friend and fellow Big Rider, Rosie Browne, is going to send me her old Trek 520 made in the late 80s. This will become my treasured bicycle and faithful steed.

Already there are plans to ride to Wilmington, North Carolina in late October and then to bike from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Asheville in December. Eventually, I will take on larger projects such as biking Taiwan and perhaps even crossing Europe. 

Posts will be sporadic, so do not expect anything regular. But please, do check in every now and then to follow my nomadic adventures. I promise pretty pictures and interesting anecdotes from what hopefully becomes a world wide trek.
