Some pics of my friend, just rolled out of town today.
I met him on the Appalachian Trail, he's also hiked the PCT and CDT. Well, almost, he is riding up to MT now to finish his hike from Glacier area to the border. His current cycling trip is from Chicago, to St. Louis, then across to Salida, CO and then north along the divide to MT. He's done some amazinng things travel wise in his lifetime, but he just won't up and tell you, you gotta get him talking about things.
I was talking with him about how fun I think it would be to ride to Alaska, and he said "Oh, I did that in 1982!" An amazing, inspiring person.
I love how he is doing it on an old, kind of rusty, mid 1980's touring bike! I think he has like 30,000 miles on the bike, and he likes to use a 40 for his big chainring!
