Hello again everyone. As you can tell I'm alive and well, having spent a week in the Adirondacks I've come out no worse than I went in. In fact, I'm doing great. I'll have to admit, my mood has been entirely influenced by the kindheartedness and generosity of everyone I've met so far. So I've decided to give this blog to all of you I've gotten to know along the way. Whether it was a crash pad you shared with me, directions and beta you've given me, a boat you've let me sleep on, or just a kind face and a story you've provided, I couldn't have gotten along this well without you. Ok, so here it is, the mother lode of photos from this past week...enjoy.
The view from 'my' houseboat on Lake Champlain
I pedaled 1002 miles to get to the ferry and into Vermont, adios New York!
Where's my trad gear when I need it?!
Follow the yellow bike road.
Rain day, rest day.
It's smooth, it's sharp, but oh so gneiss.
Petzl found a fungi to hang out with.
I bought a head net, the bugs are getting bothersome.
Cool Dyno problem called 'Drop the clutch'
The Gem of the McKinzie Pond boulders, 'Flux Capacitor'
Dinner.
Ok, cool stuff? I had fun, I didn't have the time to take photos of everything I did ( that would take away from the coolness ), but some moments I had to capture and share. I'm moving out across Vermont and New Hampshire and I'm on my way to Maine, Acadia Park. I stopped in a local gear shop here in Burlington, VT and got beta for some climbing along the way including Acadia. Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times for all the warmth you've all shown me. I'm sure it will help me to brave the onset of the New England fall chill. See you soon!

Phil we are impressed with your picture taking ability. Mom and I know that you are enjoying yourself and hope that you continue on your quest. Please be careful and always know that we love you.
ReplyDeleteYup, things are looking pretty awesome. So glad you're getting to see so many cool things. I'm sure you have many more pictures, and one day I'll make you show them all to me.
ReplyDeleteUntil then, bro... keep it real. The Farmer's Market isn't the same without your hand-picked goodness.
Much love,
Katie and Jordan
Hey Phil,
ReplyDeleteNice to see you've found some boulders to hug. Maybe I'll come visit you soon wherever you land. Maybe you could scoot on down to the triple crown and see everyone?
Good luck and shave your beard for better aerodynamic-ness.
Stay strong, stay healthy and write a song why dontcha?
Hi Phil. Burlington misses you!! We have thought about you often since you left, and we hope your journey continues to be awesome. We look forward to keeping up with your travels.
