Ben on the Radio!

September 30, 2015

I’m on the radio! I got to appear in a ten-minute segment on Wisconsin Public Radio’s CENTRAL TIME – the afternoon news magazine show. It’s a short segment, so it wasn’t a whole lot more than an introduction and a handful of questions, but it was still a great time talking to the radio hosts […]

Back from Loop the Lake

September 12, 2015

Well, I just got back from my Loop the Lake trip around Lake Michigan. All I can really say was that it was AMAZING! I toured the the north shore and crossed a bridge that was 250 feet in the air and longer than the Golden Gate. I rode the “Tunnel of Trees”. I met […]

Gone, baby, gone.

September 2, 2015

That’s it, I’m done. I need sleep. I’m leaving first thing tomorrow morning for the trip and I STILL have to actually pack. However, I built a seat for the bike today, and finished a lot of other small but important bits, including the vinyl lettering. After all that, I finally got to take it […]
