  • Small Town New Year

    Small Town New Year

    It’s been almost 3 months since Jack and I hopped off our bikes for the last time in Escalante, Utah. We both haven’t ridden since. Just kidding. We’ve actually both been on our bikes a fair bit, from commuting during my wilderness medicine instructor course in Salt Lake for three weeks in November, to Jack…

  • Goodbye Great Divide

    Goodbye Great Divide

    Posted from: Tucson, AZ Last week, Jack and I rolled across the Continental Divide for the last time as we descended into the charming town of Silver City, NM. We’ve probably crossed the Divide 30 times or maybe even more on our Great Divide journey, and it’s become pretty commonplace for us as we bike…

    Generosity and Gratitude

    Posted from: Steamboat Springs, CO First, I’d like to acknowledge that I’ve really fallen behind in posting, and I’m sorry to all of our loyal fans out there for the delay! We’ve been through A LOT, and also Jack and I have been using much of our precious wifi time to search for and apply…

    Posted from: Sparwood, BC In case you’re reading this from Antarctica or New Zealand, here’s a news flash for you: it’s summertime and it’s HOT HOT HOT!! It sounds like much of the US experienced some heat the last week or so, and Jack and I were no exception as we pedaled our way towards…

    Bikepacking Phoenixes

    Posted from: Darby, MT Jack and I started out on this journey about 3 weeks ago, with basically no training and without even touching our bikes for the 2 weeks immediately prior to departure. You could say we started this thing “off the couch.” In the time since, we’ve joked a lot about the concept…

    Posted from: Soda Springs, ID We officially set off on our adventure on Friday, June 16th at 9:45am! We were accompanied by a whole squadron of our pals from Salt Lake, some for just a block or two, and some for a few days! So much love and thanks to Abby, Morgan, Morgan’s dad, Natahly,…

  • The Rigs!

    The Rigs!

    Like any good bikepackers, we can’t start pedaling without first dedicating an entire post to our majestic steeds. Jack I am riding a 1992 Trek Singletrack 970 in the delightful “sour grape” color. In ‘92 this was a high tech mtb race machine, but based on its minty fresh paint job it probably sat in…

  • Instagram Breakup and Moving on to ✨Blogging✨

    Instagram Breakup and Moving on to ✨Blogging✨

    One year ago, I broke up with Instagram. At first, it was scary, which is hard to even admit. I felt like the app connected me to my friends and family. I worried that I would miss big events in people’s lives or that I would lose friendships. But in actuality I spent 99% of…
