What an adventurer. That is awesome. I’m glad Croton Point worked out for him. If he stays in touch, keep us updated please.

don't hate on me for what i'm about to post.. This from one of my favorite movies.. This exchange is fitting...


Jules:
Well, that's what I've been sitting here contemplating. First, I'm going to deliver this case to Marsellus, then, basically, I'm just going to walk the Earth.

Vincent:
What'cha mean, "walk the Earth"?

Jules:
You know, like Caine in Kung Fu: walk from place to place, meet people, get into adventures.

Vincent:
And how long do you intend to walk the Earth?

Jules:
Until God puts me where He wants me to be.

Vincent:
And what if He don't do that?

Jules:
If it takes forever, then I'll walk forever.

Vincent:
So you decided to be a bum?

Jules:
I'll just be Jules, Vincent; no more, no less.

Vincent:
No, Jules. You've decided to be a bum. Just like those pieces of sh*t out there who beg for change, sleep in garbage bins and eat what I throw away. They got a name for that, Jules: it's called "a bum". And without a job, a residence or legal tender, that's exactly what you're going to be: a f***ing bum.
 
I downloaded Plex recently so I could watch Kung Fu again, made it most of the way through season 1.
 
That's wild. I've been enjoying this during workouts and chores, cool ride and pretty well done.
 
You lost me Jason. You're saying the guy is a bum for riding his bike from Canada to where ever?

My German friend worked as a nurse through the pandemic. Spent a whole year planning and saving money for this trip. Has been without a car for 7 years. It’s funny to think of him as a piece of shit but that’s what some people do.

In 1993 after rock climbing through Europe, I settled in Chamonix to ski bum. Eventually the snow ran out and so did my money. Spent my days trekking in the valley and visiting the melting glaciers. I met friends from all over the world. We’d walk up to the fields of Vallorcine to lay around and go bouldering. I jumped trains and ate what people threw away. I stayed in the mountain huts and dug snow-caves, subsisting off cans of food left behind and snowmelt. It was some of the best days of my life and a completely transformative experience. I’ve got no problems with being a fucking bum.

@Ripitz Bear Mountain Bridge to Peekskill on 202 is no joke for a fully loaded touring bike, hopefully he had disc brakes.. that section of road bugs me out on an unloaded bike. I'll stand by your route for the scenery though.

It looks like they're setting up for some kind of nighttime race and they've got all these lights solar powered batteries for it.
