True North Bike Ride

As you can see from the pic.. In two weeks I'm leaving to start my 8,700 mile US bicycle tour. I'll be traveling through 11 states and visiting 14 national parks.. maybe more.. maybe less. Part of the fun is I can go and do or not do whatever I want. Keepin it loosey goosey and fun. Even though it'll be five to six months of awesome things like riding, hiking, camping and yes, playing guitar, I know there's a fair share of hardship that goes into taking on something like this. On my last bike tour I got bit by a dog on my second day and chased 12 times through out the rest of my trip from those sprinting jaws of death. It happened so often I nicknamed myself, Dog-Bait! A lack of funds and needing to free camp all along the way will also provide it's fair share of danger. Anyway, I've been rolling the idea of this trip around in my head for a long time now (since my late 20s) and even though I'm currently suffering from a minor leg injury, it's time. I really don't want to put this off any longer. I'm equally excited and nervous! Nervous mainly because this is the only map I have.. just kidding.

When I return, I will most likely be moving away from the Chicago area to try and live somewhere new for a change.. maybe out West.. I need some mountains in my life! :) But of course I'll be back as often as I can to visit and play in and around Chicago again. 


I'm sure I'll be posting some updates from time to time here on my 2¢ blog and my Instagram account at TRUE_NORTH_LIVING but I'm not putting any pressure on myself with committing to regular updates. I kinda love the idea of going on a weekly or monthly social media detox but.. I reserve the right to change my mind. If anything you'll hear all about it via music on the next CD! ♫

So with that said, this is just to give you all a quick update so you don't have to wonder later if I quit music and joined the circus. Nope, I'm just going out for a long bike ride.

Cheers,

Jim
