Look who I ran into at the local REI today!
I went to the local REI store (ABQ, NM) today and ran into this guy. He's been touring the world for almost 4 years. He was working on his bike in the bike section of the store. Bike was a Felt something or other that he had basically jury-rigged for fully loaded (too put it mildly) touring. Here's a link to his amazing blog .
Enjoy!

Lutter, schmutter, guy's a poser, look at him walking his bike, way too handsome to be a true bike tourer.
Does have a nice journal with beautiful photos though.

Wow, he started the journey as an escape from a lofelong battle of ocd and depression?
That's something I'm cant empathize with, but can only imagine the difficulty. It must have been a hellish struggle when he first started.

If she sticks around until May 15th he can take advantage of their sale.

I'll keep an eye out for him at my local REI. This is what a couple years of touring did to him.
