I biked, hiked and camped across Arizona, California, and Colorado over a 3 1/2 week period of time, with one major bike tour section through Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and Yosemite National Parks. The bike portion was 5 days, 270+ miles, and 15000+ vertical feet of gain over that period. It was the best time of my life and I couldn't have done any of this without the great chainlink community, the chicago stolen bike registry, or the guys from play it again sports who helped me find my bike 2 weeks before I left.
