Hi there. I’ve created a blog of my own to serve as my storyteller for the ride. You can find it at http://writingtoalaska.tumblr.com. The reason I created a separate blog was the ability to have all of my entries on one page, so that you wouldn’t have to click on individual entries to view them. […]

And so we headed to Lindsay Texas. The ride was interesting. At one point I literally felt like I was riding through a plague. LOCUSTS. These things were everywhere. Jumping through our tires and into our faces and hitting our legs. There was a good three or so miles that was like riding through an […]

It’s 1:24 a.m. and I’m sitting up in bed. I was having one of those nights when you stay up way too late because you’re hooked on a very good book and you have to finish it. My phone buzzed with a text message from my best friend in the whole world, Jane Reilley. Jane […]

Day 5 We awoke at 545 this morning ready to swing by the Eastside church of Snyder for a community breakfast at 715 AM before sweeping up US 84 to Lubbock. But all of the best laid plans go to waste, as they say. The skies were open, pouring rain, hail, and lightning along our […]

Day 4 Today we rode 92 miles from Winters to Snyder. We left Winters riding through bright gold wheat fields and a pink and blue sky, with the same plateau rising from the plains, oddly forested and out of place, that we had stared at for 20 miles the day before. The day was full […]

Day 2 We awoke again very early, this time 4:45. The alumni cooked us eggs and we all gathered for our final ride dedication. It was huge and long, but awesome. At the end we leaned the Hakka chant and it was so cool. I can’t wait to do that all summer. At the conclusion […]
