Sojourning On!

After a complete removing, repainting, and replacing, my beige 2008 Raleigh Sojourn is now frostbite blue and ready for another 15,000 miles! I definitely had to retire the old Brooks saddle though.

Super thanks to the fine folks at Raleigh customer service for hooking me up with a spare derailleur hanger – the representative I spoke with was super happy just to hear of one of these discontinued old beauties still rolling.

Practice run tonight up through Niagara USA and Canada. Hoping for rain, I have suspicions about the dry rot on my rain fly.

Back @ It

A one way flight to New Orleans 30 days from today equals a 1700-1800 mile ride home this June. Longest since 2010. I’m beyond excited, so please stay tuned…

Ropa Vieja

FYI. “Ropa” autocorrects to “tips”.

Also. I usually only wear old clothes. 

Lastly. Cuban food is super tasty.
