New York man makes stop in Granite Falls on cycling trip around the United States
Last August, Bob Barnes of Syracuse, New York, packed up his belongings to store at his brother’s home, gave up his apartment and his job as an Uber driver, and took off on his second big adventure. The first was a bicycle ride around the country done four years ago in which he managed a trek totaling roughly 5,800 miles. For this trip, Barnes planned an even more challenging journey - one that would bring him back and forth across the country multiple times in an effort to visit the state capital of all fifty states, for a total of approximately 16,300 miles, all on bicycle. He’s titled the trip “Great American Triple Switchback”. Barnes says that a trip like this has never been done in the past.

From the Editor’s Desk
I’m a list maker. Every surface of my desks is covered in lists, the notes app in my phone has seven or eight lists going at any time, there’s lists in notes on my laptop, and even sometimes, lists are written in ink on the steering wheel of my car (yes, this drives my husband nuts). It also drives my sister nuts that I don’t consolidate all lists onto the notes app on my phone, where I could keep my life more in order. She fails to recognize that this chaotic collection of lists IS my version of organized.
