The Pedalshift Project 288: A Late Start on the C&O

How can it be June and I haven’t ridden at all on the C&O? On this episode, we fix that! I could fit in a quick sub-24 hour trip and was rewarded by the trail and the weather for a fantastic ride. But it wouldn’t be one of my tours without something breaking… would that trash my beautiful weekend of riding?

A Late Start on the C&O

Not a huge shownotes kind of episode. Here’s the campsite I stayed at and a turtle I encountered on the trail…

The Pedalshift Project 267: 2021 Clean-Up Tour – Part 2

Happy holidays! I’ve ridden an ok amount this year, but to be honest, as the year was winding down I realized there were two spots I always hit that I haven’t been to yet this year. So I need to play a little clean up and get wheels down on these two gems! In part 2, I revisit one of my favorite campsites… maybe one of my single favorite places I can get to from home, by bike!

As we wind down 2021, we went LIVE BABY LIVE once again with your questions all about bike touring (and a few that weren’t) plus I revealed most of my first tour of 2022.
