E367 – Lizzy Does The Lower 48

Lizzy took a huge bike tour over 6 months covering all 48 contiguous states, with a pet rat, Beefy, in tow, and ate a vegan diet the whole time.  She tells us some tales from the road.  Did we mention she’s a friend of Superfan Aqua?  Check out her adventures from multiple tours at withinbikingdistance.com Brock took a huge ride and saw a giant salamander, and Aaron is finally gonna go bike camping after switching his daily ride.
