One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was convinced to cycle 101 miles to Crater Lake with, my now very good friend, Peter. Who at the time I had known a total of 15 hours. In my eyes, the craziest most irrational last minute decision I've ever made. It was so worth it though. I was overwhelmed with the atmosphere of bike touring, the beautiful scenery, the struggle of an uphill climb, and the end result of the stunning Crater Lake.

Summer 2016 my good friend Ben and I went on a 1,000 mile bike tour through the Canadian Rockies. We cycled up some massive passes, saw many bears, and slept through many thunderstorms. The most amazing experience of my life thus far.
