This post is oddly, but understandably in my own mind, making me emotional.
I’ve officially sold my
@jamisbikes Renegade Gravel Bike lovingly and meaningfully named BuSo (Buffalo Soldier) to another adventure seeker aiming for memories of his own in Lisbon, Portugal, and beyond!
I don’t have an exact number of miles that BuSo and I spent together over the past 4 years, but a quick scroll through trip recaps leads me to confidently believe it’s significantly over 10,000.
A visual trip down memory lane for those interested:
