This is the start of another short tour from Seattle to San Diego to help shake off the lassitude brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Two years of stagnant desk work coupled with the stress of an insane political environment has taken its toll. It is now time to clear the head and strengthen the body. I am flying into Seattle Washington on 10/20/2022 with my son “Luc” and two newly outfitted Titanium Road bikes. This time we are attempting to pack ultra-lite and travel faster. It will be interesting to see how our new gear setup works in practice.
