My Two Things1. Name
Joshua Logan
2. What are your two things?
– 2011.5 Fuji Altamira Road Bike
– Prana Stretch Zion Pants, charcoal color, sized Small x 30″
3. Since our destination is a mystery, where would you hope we go?
Anywhere that has long, lonely roads with high elevation views and camping at the beginning and end
4. How will your two things be good for #3 Answer?
I think a bike is the best way to absorb the outdoors. You are able to move quick enough to cover relatively large distances, but also slow enough to notice small details, smell smells, ponder things that need pondering, etc.
The Stretch Zion pants are the best pants for outdoors activities. Period. You can read the high points from their website, but let me give you my experience. They cover your ankles so you don’t touch poison ivy but you can also roll them up and snap secured to cross creeks or any other scenario where rolled up pants might be an advantage for style (read: rolled up pants are always stylish). They don’t rip when you sit on rocks or rub against sticker bushes. Somehow- they never smell or feel dirty, even if you wear them for days on end without being able to wash them.
5. What will the theme song be for said adventure?
I’m a white person in my 30’s, so I basically only listen to podcasts and NPR.
6. If we actually go to #3 Answer is there another piece of gear you would want to purchase?
I always wish I had more food when I’m camping or riding.
7. Favorite trip from the past?
New Zealand by camper van
8. Must do activity in #7 Answer?
Have your mode of transport break down in the middle of nowhere so you can experience the genuine, good-hearted, benevolence of Kiwi’s.
9. Book recommendation for someone about to go on a trip?
Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. Its a nice mix of being an easy read but also provides opportunity for reflection. Plus, its really, really long so you can kill a ton of time with it.
10. You can invite any person in the world on our trip, who would you want to join?
Someone who is really strong on the bike and doesn’t mind pulling all day and not talking very much.
