That's How I Roll

I'm not a cyclist. But I'm going to ride cross-country. My friend recently asked me, "Well, what will you call yourself when you ride, then?" Hmm, an adventurer! I like to explore, and doing it via bicycle is my next big thing. In 2009, I hiked from Georgia to Maine. Shortly after, I realized that I can cover twice the distance in half the time. If that doesn't scream cool, then I don't know what does. So I bought a shiny blue Surly, my new ticket to freedom, and it's been uphill ever since.

West Yellowstone

Rest day.

We took a day off to wait for McKinley's dad to arrive, he's flying in from TN to ride with her for 2 weeks.

A friend I met through the AT lives not too far from here and happened to be camping in the park, so we spent the day hanging out. Liz, aka Dizzy Bat, and I met for 5 minutes at trail days in 09, and then connected over Facebook. It's amazing how fast bonds form when traveling. She brought snacks and insisted on paying for our lunch, how generous! Also, she's now one of the funniest people I know. Basically, the 3 of us laughed all day.

I can't think of a better way to spend a day off.

Tomorrow, poppa McKinley should arrive in town and we can set off into the park and Wyoming.
