What make Rockies Rockies?

It is the route they went through. Colorado, Wyoming, Montana - beautiful scenery. Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon - Vastly unpopulated wildness.

It is the riders in the team. John, Dyer, Jack, and Mehak - enthusiastic adventurer for the wild life; Dan, Brett, Ashton, and Lauren - reponsible leaders for the team; Kate S, Kate P, Austin, Rosie, and Brittany - representing Rockies' ladies with endless joy; Shilen and Sam - ambitious toward the future; Natasha, Kristin, and Andrea - little girls with strong hearts; Wilson and Whitney and Jinyang - Rockies' teamasia. Andrew and Joel - quiet gentlemen and excellent mechanicals. Kelly - special sense of humor and outstanding photographer; Jordan - our hope! Allie, Kelsey - strong girl with big compassion.

It is all difficulties we experienced. Freezing cold, extreme heat - nothing could stop us biking forward. Mountain house, camping in the rain - nothing could stop us enjoying every moment of life;

Most importantly, it is the attitude we have. We sacrifice ourselves and contribute our effort to the team. We built each other up. Rockies is solid as a rock. We don't complain any difficulties or sudden change out of schedule. Who cares. We pushed ourselves so hard to pursue the sense of accomplishement and happiness of satisfaction. Rockies on rock!

Camp fire, whiskey and rum, Guitar, our singing - all of these with every single second of our 59-day journey as Rockies team, will store in my memony with fragrance and happiness.
