Day 27 June 28th Miles: 65 Wakeup time 515. This has been a day much of the team has been waiting for. Entering one of the most beautiful places on earth and our first day of camping. We began our ride dedication circle by honoring ruel. He would have loved the tetons and all the […]

I ride for your stories. For the ENTIRE month of July I am going to record/write (at least)one story a day (we’ll see how this goes in the Yukon). I will record a story in memory, in honor of, or in celebration of a loved one. I expect most of the stories will be cancer […]

I dream of the alternate universe where we fought, hugged, cried. I imagine how prom might have been different or what your stance would’ve been on obamacare. i like to think we would have been friends and that I would have taken your sweaters with me when i took long trips for the warmth and […]

It’s June 29th, and I must admit I don’t know how we’ve gotten here already. I remember looking through our route before we left and seeing all the places we were going to see. I’d stop on Lake Tahoe and San Francisco and think, “Man, that really is a ways away. I wonder how I’m […]

The title of this post is laughable because I spent all of 2 hours on a road bike today. Let me make it clear that I am by no means an authority on cycling or bikes or anything really. I’m just happy that I didn’t fall on my face, but let’s be real, that day […]

Crossed back into the panhandle of Texas and enjoyed the small town hospitality of Follett, TX. Crossed the border into “Colorful Colorado.” Rode our longest day of the summer, 123 miles from Lamar, CO to Pueblo, CO. […]

My first rough day came as we were riding into Colorado Springs. It was our first day in the mountains. Seeing them in the distance changed to being surrounded by them. The first 25 miles were flat with what I thought was a strong headwind. Wyoming has changed my view of wind, but I’ll get […]

Day 26 June 27th Miles: 96 sagged High amounts of smoke due to the fires didn’t clear Shoshoni until 10am today..At that point it was pretty late for our standards. We woke up around 7:30am feeling like it noon since we’ve been so used to of waking up around 4am Wind conditions were also expected […]

Boulder to Fort collins. I had a restful night and my dad brought me to meet up with the team. My dad stayed for our ride dedication circle. I was something that was so special for me to have him there. An emotional ride dedication for sure. We headed to fort collins. The ride almost […]
