A little #flashback and official #fuckyouthursday dedication to my #TNGA finish.... Before snake creek it had been a flawless run... In less than 30 miles... I flatted out... Had to hike five miles... Got bit by a bee, I am allergic, and then had to stop for the day to make repairs... In the last forty miles... My disc rotor was damaged to the point that I had to disable the brake to finish.... That tells the tale a little better when you listen to the dramatic finish of this ride..

At control 1, 58 miles done, 127 to go. It's not terribly hot, the horse flies are chasing hard and I seen a bear... Some snacks some water and then leaving.. (at 88 Store and Pub)

Cleared the southwest corner... So far so good. #OffRoadRando #singletracksamurai #TeamSamurai #HuRaCaN300 #CFiTT #AdventureByBike #salsacycles #TeamSamurai (at Ocklawaha, Florida)

Independence day rando is now in session. The honorable singletrack samurai is presiding. It will be me and my shadow vs the forest. Start time is 825am. #singletracksamurai #OffRoadRando #TeamSamurai

Last night my friend Nick and I took a mostly dirt ride to Central 28. Enjoyed some brews and some food, and then a mostly dirt ride back, all the while racing to beat the storm... We beat the storm and had a great Thursday. Thinking of inviting others next time! (at Central 28 Beer Co.)

Tarps.... Bikepackers.. If you haven't played with one you should... This past weekend... I brought my tarp on my family summer trip... And when it stormed the second night... I used my hammock straps... Spare caribiner and stretchy belt to create enough space for everyone, five people, to sit and hang out while it rained... Let's see you bivvy or your tent pull that off... #protip #bikepacking #singletracksamurai #msr

It's been a long time since we have been able to get the family together to chase adventure. This weekend we are heading up to the big bend area, chasing paddling and dark skies... Sopchoppy pizza and curiosities in Appalachicola including the brewery. Can't wait. #AdventureImminent
