Day 17: Colorado Springs CO to Denver CO, 65 miles Date: June 17th 2013 Omar, T4K 2012 rockies rider, had mentioned in one of his blogs that the “Gods have blessed Colorado”. I could not agree with that statement more. We really saw the beauty of this part of the country today. Me and my […]
Day 16: Pueblo CO to Colorado Springs CO, 75 miles Date: June 16th 2013 I’m a little behind on my blogs because we have been having days that are packed. I usually put notes on my phone and complete the blog in the night. Today was significant because we took the rocky mountains head-on. We […]

Day 21: Fort Collins, CO to Cheyenne, WY This trip has given me a whole new appreciation for the power of nature. We have encountered just about every extreme form of weather there is: rain, snow, wind, heat, tornadoes, floods, fires, apparently even hurricanes? I’ll explain that one in a minute. We’ve also had to […]

Day 14: Day 14: Ulysses, Kansas to Lamar, Colorado We finally made it. We are in Colorado. Nothing against Oklahoma and Kansas, but this is what we have been waiting for. The scenery changed almost immediately once we crossed the border yesterday. It literally felt like you could draw a line between green and brown, […]
Day 15: Lamar CO to Pueblo CO, 122 miles Today was the longest ride of the summer. It was one to remember. Wake up was at 5am. Breakfast was provided by the church. We were informed that there was a time limit to finish the ride today because our hosts were expecting us at a […]
From all the alumni advice I heard before this trip, one comment really rang in my mind. Daniel Laprea said embrace every emotion. Well over the past 15 days, I’ve experienced a roller coaster of emotions, but each of these keep building incredible memories. I’m not typically a crier. I don’t express my feelings and […]
