I used to be using my motorbike down the 224 in Park Metropolis, Utah after I noticed a big group of younger bicycle vacationers stopped at an intersection. I pulled my motorbike onto a close-by facet street, jumped the curb and drove over a small part of grass earlier than ripping off my helmet and approaching the group. I believe I’ll have startled them a bit, however I shortly defined that I too was a bicycle traveler.
It was then that I met James Miska and the others in his group. They defined that they’d began in Salt Lake Metropolis and had been biking south towards Moab, Utah. I noticed the guitar strapped to the highest of James’ Xtrawheel, however didn’t assume a lot about it on the time… nor did I even point out it. I needed to cease and discuss with the group some extra (and possibly even trip with them for a bit (I want I had been using my touring bicycle in the mean time)), however I used to be assembly up with a pal and I didn’t need him to be ready for me, so I snapped the group’s image; James gave me his card; after which we went our separate methods.
It was solely upon returning house and searching up the web site on James’ enterprise card that I spotted I had met James a couple of times earlier than. Properly, I’ve by no means actually met James earlier than, however I’ve seen him not less than two or thrice within the Park Metropolis/Salt Lake Metropolis space, performing both alone or with mates (on the Sundance Movie Competition and elsewhere). Plus, I’ve heard about his musical bicycle tour throughout america as effectively.
