This last week has been spectacular! The team really enjoyed our rest day in Portland, Oregon. Very fun city…active, trendy, hip…it reminded us all of Austin and made us slightly homesick. The ride into Portland was only 15 miles…15 miles of non-stop steep uphill. It was extremely difficult & painful, but I made it! When […]
From noon on day 44 until about 3pm on day 46, we had the privilege of spending time in Prince George with Dorrie, one of the most longstanding hosts in T4K history. I have looked forward to our rest day in Prince George all summer because I had heard so much about Prince George from […]

Day 44 July 15th Miles: 42 We woke up bright and early before 5am by the sounds of rain drops barraging our tents. It was cold and wet outside but the rain slowly died out as our alarm clocks forced us to get out of our sleeping bags. Mosquitoes. I hate them. Especially after the […]

There are moments in your life that you know you will remember forever. Wyoming provided many of these opportunities. This was facilitated by unique and interesting hosts and challenging and miserable rides. In all honesty, despite my disdain of the awful, horrible, no good rides, hard rides happen to be my favorite. I didn’t sign […]
