In 17 days I’ll be flying out to San Diego to start my 1,300+ mile bicycle tour to Austin, TX. Plans started to form for this trip about 2 weeks ago when I decided to quit my current job and take a position with EnergySavvy<\/a>. I’ll be starting the new job in the new year which affords me the incredible opportunity of some extended time off. Ever since John and Andy sparked my interest in long-distance bike riding on our Germany trip back in 2010<\/a> I’ve wanted to do something similar again. Now is my chance!<\/p>\n

This time, however, it looks like I’ll be doing this trip alone. And I really haven’t had the time to prepare\u2026 so I’ve been in a mad rush to figure what I need to do before now and January 1st<\/sup>! I’ve got maps. I kinda know my route and the hills scare me. I’m slowly amassing what little gear I need. I haven’t been biking much, so I’ve been working on getting in a little better shape before I attempt to put 50+ miles a day on my behind pulling a fully loaded touring bike up and down some pretty steep desert mountains.<\/p>\n

It feels like there’s so much to do\u2026 but, when I really sit back and think about it, the thing I really need to do more than anything else is train. Time to get on that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
