the new bike is here! almost.it’s not actually here yet but it is close. i saw it in the packaging a few days ago at the shop. i stopped in to check up on the progress today and they had it hanging up! the shop did a coat of framesaver and it will need to dry before assembly. i was given the green light to pick it up tomorrow after work! i also ordered some of the additional equipment and some additional parts so that i can get this beast ready. i still have a bunch of stuff that i pulled off of my long haul trucker before i sold it and most of it will get mounted on the new girl. she’s a tangerine dream. i can hardly wait to show her off.

hi! i’m jaik. this site was created to host information and live updates of the transamerica bike ride that i will be doing from seattle to key west. from this point forward i will be doing daily blog before the ride and hopefully daily blog/vlog posts once the ride starts.

my scheduled time off from work has been approved. my new bicycle is almost here. this is taking off in a way i never imagined it would. stay tuned for more updates as things begin moving faster!
