Day 69 Nelchina to Palmer AK August 9th Miles: 40 + Sag The ride dedication will always be a sacred circle in my heart. I’ve cherished every circle since I’ve joined this organization and today is the second to last one with my team. I am ready for this ride to be over but there […]
Day 68 Chistochina to Nelchina AK August 8th Miles: 90 I think its finally hit me that I’m ready for the physical aspect of this ride to be over. Many of us are waking up with aches, rusty joints and the sounds of loud pops as we strech. We were given a nice breakfast by […]

Today is my last full day in Canada. The last 14 days in this beautiful country have been incredible. Canadians are very friendly people and have been so generous with us. Numerous grocery stores and restaurants have donated food to us, and Texas 4000 is not even a registered non-profit organization here. That proves how […]
Day 63 Burnwash landing to Lake Creek YT August 3rd Miles: 57 Wake up time 8am. I woke a little late today to find a line to the restrooms and timed the people going in and out. Found a small closet that goes down a basement by the lodge to quickly change and made my […]
