Another journey begins! Nick and I made the drive from Oakland to Florence without incident. It turns out that the wages of 10 weeks on a bicycle is 9 hours on I-5 in an oversized SUV.
I’m now on a bus heading back to Florence after dropping off our car in Eugene. Almost finished with the logistical acrobatics so that we can finally start riding bikes!


Try to stay cool this week, bums. She’s gonna be a scorcher. If you need a reminder of what cool feels like, remember me. Roll on.
Also. I know you’re busy, but try to post a list of songs you hear on your journey. Blasting from cars, at the breakfast nook, in the grocery store, etc. I cherish the playlist I’ve generated from previous Bike Bums trips. Like this one, from Silverton, CO last year:
