I’m bummed. Wistful, even. I want to hit the road again. During my trips to British Columbia and Idaho last month I really got in the groove. My bike and my gear are sufficiently sorted out and comfortable for the first time in over 4 years. I seriously think I could have ridden cross-country, literally, time, family and money notwithstanding.

I see all these posers and jackholes riding through town as I’m commuting to and from the office, most on their way to or from Sturgis and I’m jealous. No, I don’t want to go to Sturgis, I just want to go …somewhere. Anywhere. Most specifically not Sturgis, not right now – too many people.

Now, how can I make a living doing that?
