Road to Newport

"We set out to bike from Virginia to Rhode Island for our performance at Newport Folk Festival. We had never done anything nearly of this magnitude. We spent months planning and training for the roughly 700 mile journey, which included several shows along the way. Life throws you obstacles, and our musical eco-pilgrimage was full of ‘em. We biked through extreme heat and torrential downpour, climbed thousands of feet in elevation on Appalachian mountains and breezily cruised on east coast boardwalks, had an impromptu group ride with several hundred people in NYC, and grabbed two ferries and a short train after a significant and difficult hand injury. We lived in sweaty spandex and those little clickity bike shoes for 2 weeks. It was incredible."

Our message is simple: get out and go. Find your people and hit the streets. Get out of the car and on your bike or your board.
