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. Johnny Killmore as a “brand” isn’t really a brand. It’s job is to say “this is who I am and what I do, collaborate with me.” It does that job, but the identity isn’t the same as a brand. I’ve been…

Pictures Will Have To Do
Read more: Pictures Will Have To DoWordPress has managed to make things difficult yet again. Now that it has rearranged pictures out of order instead of doing a cut/paste, here we are. We’ll just make this a random photo dump of the last month or so. This random site is the grave of a US soldier who died in 1880. His remains were found in 1980…

Ups and Downs: Riding The Passes of Colorado
Read more: Ups and Downs: Riding The Passes of ColoradoIt seems like I’ve been right in saying Colorado needs to be its own trip. Every time I turn a corner or crest a hill there is another insanely beautiful vista. I see so many views in a day you’d think I would be desensitized after nearly a month, but I have to stop and soak it in over and…

On The Road Again
Read more: On The Road AgainWell, I’m getting far behind on all my writing, so I’ll make this far more brief than it should be. I’ve been back on the road since Memorial Day Weekend. This time I’m focusing my travels on Colorado solely. It is a state that truly deserves its own trip. I’m also switching bikes since there’s a tremendous amount of rough…

Westward, Ho…but first…
Read more: Westward, Ho…but first…Leaving the Airport Cafe in Hampton, NH left me few good options when it comes to combining scenic roads with making decent time. This was yet another major difference in the two sides of the United States. With so much open space in the Western US (especially in the desert) you can normally combine the two, making good time on…

Of Lobster Rolls And Bridge Trolls
Read more: Of Lobster Rolls And Bridge TrollsI had finally made it. Honestly though, it didn’t feel like a climax. I decided to ride to Maine to get a lobster roll on a lark. I mean, what else was I going to do? And so here I was, in Hampton, New Hampshire, ready to cross over into Maine and accomplish my goal, but I don’t even like…

Reaching The Apex
Read more: Reaching The Apex[The story continues, starting on the West Virginia and Maryland border, the Potomac River.] Antietam campground was peaceful when I woke, and I had my morning coffee on the shore of the Potomac. Once packed up I crossed back over into Shepardstown, WV for breakfast. The town was such a strange mix of old-world America and the progressive attitude of…

Bluegrass to Mountain Pass: the ride continues
Read more: Bluegrass to Mountain Pass: the ride continuesMy time in Kentucky was relaxing, though maybe too much. I can get into an extremely lazy rhythm when I have no pressing matters and all the basics are taken care of. I enjoyed touring bourbon distilleries and definitely needed some sleep, but the days started to pile on and I wasn’t getting things prepped for my next journey. Work…
