Tour gear is starting to roll in!

Each day the reality of my upcoming tour sinks in a bit more deeply. I had one of those moments last night as I unloaded my trusty little red pickup truck from a week on the road. Here are a few of my newest equipment acquisitions:

A weekend of bikes bikes bikes!

I spent the weekend in Monterey, California at the Sea Otter Bike Festival. Here’s a quick video recap:

And a little scenery:

There were happy bikes:

And cruiser bikes:

And wooden bikes:

And mountain bike racers going fast:

And downhill bike racers going BIG:

High-fives:

And even a bit of time by the beach for Grizwald and I:

I connected with a lot of folks from the bike industry during the festival and am excited to collaborate with all of you as we collectively promote bikes for everyone!
