The journey was a constant series of unexpected challenges and unforgettable moments. On the first day of summer, Tobin was surprised by a sudden snowfall, forcing him to camp in freezing conditions. His encounters with wildlife were frequent and varied, including a mountain lion in Montana, two rattlesnakes, wild horses, and an antelope in New Mexico. One particularly grueling stretch in Wyoming saw him cycle 100 miles with no access to food or water. He also conquered the highest peak he had ever summited, reaching 12,000 feet in Colorado. Out of the 31 nights on the trail, Tobin spent 22 of them camping under the stars, embracing the wild.
