Did that all really just happen? WOWZA. It was a ride, alright! This trip in Colombia has been the most significant ride I’ve done since my first multiday trip around 9 years ago. At just under 2 weeks, it can hardly be considered epic. But I did my best to keep it interesting ;). I… Read More
Day 12: Jardin to Medellin!
I’m not sure what else to say other than I f***ing crushed it today. I honestly didn’t set out to make it all the way here or to achieve some kind of anything, but sometimes you just have it in you. And today was such a day for me. 130 km, 7000 ft, 8 hours… Read More
