Biking the Trans America Bike Trail: Ali Dastagirzada

In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Ali Dastagirzada regarding his Bicycle Tour from Virginia to Oregon on the TransAmerica Bike Trail in 2022.  This was Ali's first bicycle tour and it would see him buy a bike, quit his job and then ride across ten states from his starting point in Virginia to  reach his finishing destination in Oregon. Ali shares his motivations for taking this tour and his experiences along the way.  From resetting his expectations after a tough first day on his trip, enduring horrendous headwinds and dog chases, to discovering a new passion for long distance bicycle adventures.
