Day 35 July 6th Rest day in Glacier National Park Today is the halfway point of this trip. It’s exciting in so many ways. Tomorrow we will be in Canada. A huge achivement for our team in so many ways. We biked from Austin to the Canadian border. And this is just the half. A […]
I know my blogs are far and few in between, but per reference of Omar Ghani, I decided I’d share with y’all something I wrote and read for my team. If you don’t already know, every morning we ride, after our dedication circle, our team does a chant called the Hakka. A different person leads […]
Days 33, 34, 35: We spent our 4th of July grilling out, camping, and hiking in Redwood Natl Park. Every evening our team gathered for smores, local beers, and hot cocoa at the campfire. The temperature dropped, the mist set in, and the low clouds and fog took the bright sky. But we felt very […]
I can do all things through Him  who gives me strength. Phillipians 4:13 Several days ago I completed one of the most physically and emotionally exhausting feats of my life. I rode a bicycle nearly 100 miles through hilly terrain facing brutal  winds of up to 30 miles per hour. Such a task sounds nearly […]
July 5th Miles: 70ish Today was a little different from my routine ride or sag schedule. It was the first day of the summer where I wouldn’t be able to ride because of a planned visit to the doctors. Along with me were also Taylor, Diana and shea who also needed to make visits for […]
July 4th Day 33 Miles: 63 America day. That’s what our team likes to call it. It’s a great day. I mean c’mon. We’re cycling across the greatest nation to ever exist (biased, maybe not but really ‘merica is great). It’s the land of peanut butter and jelly, nascar, and cheese burgers. Haha but in […]
Day 32 33 Eureka, CA: Avenue of the Giants and Meth Yesterday we biked from Redway to Eureka, of which the first 35 miles were on the Avenue of the Giants, a meandering, narrow, and beautiful blacktop road that takes cyclists and motorists within inches of many of the oldest trees in the world. The […]
Today we rode from Redway, California to Eureka, California — it was 70 miles of beautiful, beautiful forest. We even biked through the “Avenue of the Giants,” which was an area of MASSIVE redwood trees. They are so huge that it actually took me 1 minute and 9 seconds to give one whole tree a […]
From the tiny towns of Texas to the literal concrete jungle that is San Francisco, we have had the unique opportunity to see a range of lifestyles. And of course the the most cliche but valuable lesson has been it’s not what you have but how you live. Hospitality has a unique way of bringing […]
Now that I have caught everyone up with the beginning of my great journey, I will share the good news that I am BACK ON THE BIKE! Several doctors appointments, 4 cortisone injections, and hundreds of ice packs later, I am ready to ride! My knee issues are still prevalent, although less active at the […]
