Contrary to Almost Famous, touring with a band is actually similar to bikepacking.

Best, because who doesn’t love free time? Worst, because a combination of idle hands, sometimes heavy boredom, and a general lack of good judgment make it all too tempting for me to over-indulge in the ever-present self-medication options. One of the best and worst things about only working a couple of hours a night is having endless free days. Plus, the added mobility does wonders for my mental health. It’s like having tours within a tour, exploring everywhere we stop. I’ve spent a lot of time on the road as a band/tour photographer and always try to bring my bike. I do have my bike with me, though, and fully intended to be riding the heck out of it until someone (you know who you are) lost the keys to the monster “New York Proof” padlock and chain securing the bike rack and bikes to the back of our tour bus. You thought I pedaled that whole way? Ha! Not this time. Mostly hugging highways, mostly hung over.Īll without once getting to throw a leg over my bike. Then Denver, across the plains to Saint Louis.
Almost lost someone to hypoxia near Telluride. I’m ready for a break – we left Eugene, Oregon, what feels like months ago, meandering our way across Nevada, into Los Angeles, back up through Utah, and over the Rockies. I just finished the first leg of a cross-country tour, now beginning a day off in Cleveland, Ohio. Words and photos by James Joiner ( My feet hurt.
