Maintaining a blog sometimes gets lost in the priority of other projects, especially when living in a van for the summer. So it’s awfully convenient that I recently went for a ride with the one and only Jan Heine, the owner of Rene Herse Cycles — my awesome tire sponsor, in his backyard of the mighty Cascade Mountains in Washington. And better yet, he wrote a blog about it!

Jan is something of a human GPS and/or gazettier as well as a wordsmith, so I thought I would be wise to just link to his blog to harness his creative juices. If you’re interested in the stunning ride through the Cascades, look no further than here.
