Taking my Speed Twin out west again! // Spring 2021 AZ→CO→MT

Hard to believe, but it's already time to go west again! This trip really sneaked up on me and I didn't have nearly as much time to prepare as I would have liked. Hence the belated announcement video. I'm glad I left when I did, though, because I may not have the freedom of teleworking for much longer. I hope you'll follow along as I try to cram as much adventure as I can into three months in Flagstaff, Denver, and Missoula.

Keep up with the trip on Instagram before I have time to edit videos:   / van_blamm
