January 8th, 2012: Rest Day While I’m certainly glad I got a lot of rest and had a day off it is definitely strange to have a day in the middle of this event where I don’t ride my bike. I am in such a schedule of eating, dressing, riding, eating, sleeping, etc. that having [...]

Photo by Chris Green January 2nd, 2012: Dakar Stage 2 I’m totally bummed about Jonah Street’s situation today. Jonah is legitimately such a nice person and that’s an anomaly really.
