My New Project: Ride>Eat>Repeat
Read more: My New Project: Ride>Eat>RepeatViewing the human experience through the foods we share. I’ve been grappling with things for a long time now.

Read more: Snapshot 2024: Images From The RoadI’m getting ready to enter California on my run south, the usual mission as fall works its way down the Northern Hemisphere. As I was looking at routes it reminded me of how varied the landscape is in America’s most populous state.

End of The Island Adventure
Read more: End of The Island AdventureYes, I’m finally off Vancouver Island, poking around British Columbia as the first leaves start to turn yellow.

Read more: Racing The Clock: The Trek NorthWell I won’t leave you in suspense: I made it. I was able to get to Vancouver Island in time to see the Martin Mars make its last flight.
