Best of Pedalshift 152: The Great American Rail-Trail

The Great American Rail-Trail, launched by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy nearly three years ago is a proposed network of nearly 4000 miles of off-road trails linking Washington, DC to the outskirts of Seattle, WA. Back in 2019, we chatted with Kevin Mills of RTC to get the scoop on this exciting project and what to expect in the years to come.

Originally podcast February 7, 2019.

The Pedalshift Project 258: Green Goblin Retirement Tour – Day 7 + Takeaways

The final day of the Goblin retirement tour featured a short ride, a three-bus journey from the coast to smokey, stormy and hot hot hot Medford for the flight home. A lot of moving parts… would I make all the connections? Plus… three big takeaways and an epilogue to the whole trip.

Takeaways

Trust your skills – it turns out my lack of faith in my ability to fix that chain ended up stealing some nice riding. I had plenty of bus opportunities to catch up if disaster struck, plus that Better World Club “towing” option. Should have taken the calculated risk earlier.
 
Rushed the prep – two things… I didn’t go through my tools bag, otherwise I would have had a spare quick link on hand to make a better fix than a twist and a prayer. Second thing was I landed in Portland late and had to leave within a few hours of waking up. That was a bad idea… it rushed my nephew visit and I never could do a once over on the bike.
 
It is fun to meet people in camp again – I hadn’t camped with anyone in the same campsite, let alone had a campground conversation since the summer of 2019… on the Oregon coast! It was fun to trade stories with the guy from Korea and share the conversation I had last episode. Makes me realize how much we’ve all been missing in this crazy 19 months!

The Pedalshift Project 257: Green Goblin Retirement Tour – Day 6

Day 6 of the Green Goblin retirement tour was the final day of cycling the coast, maybe saving the best riding for last. But I have a history of mechanicals a few miles from the finish line… would that bad luck continue? Also: a campground chat!

The Pedalshift Project 256: Green Goblin Retirement Tour – Day 5

Day 5 of the Green Goblin retirement tour was a return to the tour that I had intended all along. But while my amateurish chain twisting fix was holding admirably, was my luck going to hold on long enough to complete the tour all on my fix?

Day 4 of the Green Goblin retirement tour meant the end of my extended stay in beautiful Newport. But would a snap decision that morning paired with my hack of a chain repair hold up for the ride south?
