July 3rd Miles: 100 “Pain I hear it makes you stronger makes you better that there’s beauty to be found in whitiling away the weaker parts of ourselves In being forced to dig deeper to uncover the undiscovered strength buried in our core I want to know this pain. I want to be humbled by […]

Hi there- We’re a month into the trip and I haven’t blogged in, well, about a month. I remember thinking last year, “Why don’t the riders blog more often? It’s so easy!” But really it’s not. There is so much that goes into our days and my to-do list never ends, but I am so […]

Day 31 This morning Lori Cole and the First Pres congregation showed us the art of making omeletes in a bag. It was incredible. One takes a deep freeze ziplock bag, cracks 2 or 3 eggs into it, pour in your fixings, and then boil the bag for 13 minutes and ho! you have a […]

July 2nd Miles: 104 Wakeup was around 6am. A much needed sleep on a bed which I didn’t want to get out of. Barbara prepared us a wonderful breakfast of egg casserole, homemade biscuits, fruits and coffee. Wes and I were thoroughly pleased. We made our way to the Community Center to meet up with […]

After riding for a little over a month now, it’s amazing to reflect on all the people I have met so far. We have crossed 4 states, and we have met incredible people who are so genuine and giving. The ride itself sometimes gets repetitive, but the people we interact with along the way is […]

Day 29 June 30th Miles: 65 The process of waking up at a campground is a bit more tedious. It’s freazing and sleeping with 3 other guys also means the strange stench of odor to wakeup and know that you need to quickly crawl out of your sleeping bag at 5am and make your way […]

To pick up where I left off… So the most beautiful place. It was the gorgeous drop-off. The road literally ends into an abyss of downhill. It was amazing. Regular rest stop food. And then the team ascends. They go down an amazing downhill of a 6% grade. We pack up the rest stop and […]
