March to June, 2004
For three months I lived in the back of a pick up truck while doing the support for another of my coach's (Gordo Byrn) training road trips. Started in BC, Canada and drove to San Diego, CA for the start of the trip. Then it was across the United States with Gordo, his training buddy Clas Bjorling, and a few guest appearances by Sam Doolittle, Barry Holman and Ben Travis. The trip ended officially in Hilton Head, SC. Then it was a stop en route in Boulder and a return of the road trip vehicle in BC. Quite the adventure. All the photos from the road trip can be seen at gRAAM.

 A truly beautiful ride up Wye Mountain outside Little Rock, Arkansas. |
 A couple friendly roadies picked me up and toured me one of their better riding routes. |
 Didn't see a "Wye Mountain" sign, so this will have to suffice. |
