What this blog is about
Bicycle commuting, bicycle touring, bicycle racing; bicycle ADVENTURING.
To the grocery store, up a mountain, across the country or to the finish line--
it's all an adventure.

Riding the Ozarks
Sweat rolled like the tears of a baby.
Breath whistled like a breeze over a beer bottle.
That was the hardest darndest hill I've cycled up my whole life.
..and there are more!
CURRENT LOCATION: library in Ellington, MO!

About Me
RJ
Walla Walla, WA, United States
To me, riding a bicycle is more than a means of "exercise," it's a means of exploration.
