Looking Forward - Reflecting on the Past

In 2023 we completed our quest to cycle all 50 states, a quest that began in 1998 when we cycled in the island of Kauai. Subsequent trips would take us across the United States, up part of the east coast, along the Natchez Trace, following the Lewis and Clark trail, and many regional trips throughout the states. We started using 2 wheel long recumbent bikes, transitioned to our Terratrike Travellers trikes and having retired those trikes, are venturing forward on our ICE Adventure trikes. We are fortunate to have two sets, one model with rear suspension and a 26 inch rear wheel which we ride in Alaska, and our newest trikes which are non-suspended ICE Adventures with all 20 inch wheels. These are our new “travel” trikes.

In 2023, I also cycled 11,247 miles despite our long, cold winters and the vast majority of those miles aren’t on a trip somewhere but rather the daily riding and a lot of miles spinning around and around on a trainer looking for distractions.
So upon reflection, I have decided to keep a single journal for the year as I don’t know that readers get a full reflection of an author by simply reading one segment or trip in a year’s time. As I ride year around, I hoping to provide the big picture, the big trips, the smaller in-state trips, as well as the daily and weekly miles as they go by.
