After a LOT of interwebs hyping on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, I got an interview. I think the message of "you can have an adventure anywhere" really hit home with the folks at Blackburn Design.

I'm typically one of those people, but I get stoked to have mini adventures and teach other people how to have mini adventures that fit within the bounds of a "normal" life.
After a few phone calls, I got one of six spots to be sponsored by Blackburn to cycle the Continental Divide!
