The heat made Jamie delirious! He lost his mind and went into a hardware store in an attempt to find a taco to fix his bicycle….
Sometimes the stress of being on the road gets to ya 🙂

Episode Four – Give me a spare tire, and I’ll build you a playground…
In episode four, GREEN RIDERS are invited to join Peace Corps volunteer Julia Schulteis at Din Udom, the cluster of villages where she works in Krabi province, Thailand. We get to check out an incredible playground, built entirely by the community, out of old tires. After, we cycle a few kilometers to the neighbouring village, and spend the afternoon working with the community to plant trees in their school’s playground, to create shady outdoor learning spaces. A completely empowering window into how a couple small rural communities are coming together to enrich the environment and lives of their children. Wow. Seriously… Wow.

Pimping our Bikes in KL
The boys down at the Specialized shop in KL do it up right. I’ve never been so ergonomically analyzed ever! A day of many firsts, including having the distance between my butt cheeks measured for just the right saddle. Something to remember… Stay tuned for the next GR day in numbers for the details!
