When hauling a trailer behind a bicycle, engaging with curious strangers becomes a frequent occurrence. Common questions include inquiries about the destination and the traveler's origin. Many people express surprise at the distance travelled from places like Lubbock, Texas. Others often ask how long the trip will take, revealing interest in the logistics of cycling long distances. Queries about daily mileage lead to astonishment at the distances covered. Humorously facing the question of sanity reflects a passion for the adventure and the joy found in these experiences.
People often see the bags, gear, and trailer when I'm biking, leading them to the first question: 'Where are you going?' It usually sparks a conversation.
When I mention I'm from Lubbock, Texas, reactions vary. Many know it due to Texas Tech and Patrick Mahomes, especially if I’m far from home.
People want to gauge the timeline of my journey. I disclose the number of days or weeks planned, though travel rarely follows a strict schedule.
The question, 'Are you crazy?' often arises. I respond with humor, saying it might feel crazy on tough days, but it reveals my passion for the adventure.
