Just found your blog – loving this read. I totally hear you on the weird feeling of racing where you train. Last weekend, probably 180 miles into a double century through unfamiliar territory, I hit a stretch I ride a couple times a week. Ironically disorienting when you’re used to riding roads you don’t know.

@Davidh-marin,ca – I would love to be able to help with Rune’s journal (no donation required-it sounds fun) but like Greg and Matt I too live in California.

@AKChick -you rock- the Alaska segment is in good hands.

@slo joe A story about cycling in Sao Paolo!!!! Now there’s an adventure story.

Thanks for the offer for the 5th Grade report, but they need a US based tour.

@Jeff, Nancy, Doug, Ken, Akeyla, and Sasha. Thank you so much! #1 Son is building a fine road map for the US, hope others will join in.

@Doug (way upstate NY)
That’s one awesome bike. (even Rune thought it cool) But obviously you have now transcended into that higher plane of Ti…everything. Consider a Ti wedding band like mine. Shave weight where you can, and almost indestructible.

@Davidh – consider KS covered, or at least a part of KS covered. That sounds like an awesome project. Have @wife#1 check her email – I’m in!

Salsa is making a sweet fat bike too. If this one doesn’t make you want to ride, for a long long time, nothing will:

DAVIDH!! I’m SO in for Rune’s journal! Pick me for Alaska!!! :) Please, please, please! Wife#1 and I are soulmates so that has to count for something right? :)Sending an email from Alaska!

Also, I ask you, my dear friends of Fatty or FoF if you please, isn’t this beauty custom made for Fatty? http://fatbikes.com/907-carbon-frameset.html You have to click on the orange and black frame to enlarge it. It SCREAMS Fatcyclist! He would amazing riding that bike at Rebecca’s Private Idaho…I’d say Leadville, but I’ve heard they aren’t the best climbing bikes.

Also, wharton crew, I wish airfare wasn’t so expensive as I’d LOVE to do this ride as a relay, but I think I’d need to do 100 miles so would want to be part of a mixed crew or a women’s team (Wife#1? Jenni?). It’s probably insanely expensive to enter, but very tempting!
