Hello — we’re Ben & Liz (aka Bliz)

Married 20 years, two bikes, and a satellite dot friends like to follow. We’ve ridden the Great Divide and all over Europe, and made it to corners of Africa and the Middle East — writing it down as we go, frequent stops and all.

Underbiked, over-snacked, and in no particular hurry

Camp at dawn
The bikes

Two Chumba Terlinguas and a mud-scraping stick

One titanium, one steel, both from Black Saddle Bike Shop here in Madison. Between them they’ve carried us across the Great Divide — Rene Herse 650b×48s, dynamo hubs, no plug required. A little underbiked? Sure. Wouldn’t change a thing.
