  • Turned 40 today. Also started one of my favorite winter gigs, house/dog/goat/chicken sitting at a beautiful place in the woods.

    Dogs are fine company on a day I never expected to see.

    After two cold, windy days I'm hoppin' in the hot spring!
    First round of upgrades are done on the Krampus. Got some studded tires so I can ride over the winter and get my legs in shape. Some Wah Wah pedals in purple, naturally. A few Oveja Negra bags arrived today and I'm impressed with the quality. Probably going to get their seat bag and backpack before long. Definitely a shock downsizing from a 44L backpack, but the benefits of wheeled transportation will be worth it.

    Well my plans to leave didn't quite pan out, landed a fairly cushy job for the winter. It's allowed me to buy a used 2015 Surly Krampus to make into a touring/bikepacking rig. Current reworked plan is to ride across the northern US in the spring and summer, before heading south to UT/CO/NM/AZ for the fall and winter.

    It was $750 and is in good shape. I need to budget for a couple component upgrades plus storage. My camping gear all fits in a 44L backpack with room for a few days of food. Hoping to get away with seat, frame, and front bags. Would like to avoid big panniers.
    Noticed a kindle credit on my account, The Anarchist's Guide to Travel is finally in my library 👍
