Who knew I’d enjoy America’s dairyland almost as much as Colorado?! Wisconsin is an amazing state, not solely because of its vast amounts of cheese, but because the people have the coolest accents, you know? Seriously, this place is gorgeous.

In the last few days the wind has picked…

Ever since Ziev and I started biking through the flat farmlands of California, we never heard enough about the wonderful Colorado that Colin continuously bragged about for a solid two and half weeks…until we actually biked through it. Unbelievable! Even though we always busted him for showering Colorado with compliment after compliment, he was right, down to every last word…
Hello again! We are currently in Page, Arizona, right next to Lake Powell. It’s incredible how different Arizona is in each of the different towns we visit. I always imagined Arizona as the cactus state with an average temperature of a blistering 110 degrees. I don’t mean to discount those characteristics of Arizona because, trust me, that heat still does…
