Wow. It’s only day 4, and I already have so many moments I want to share with everyone. If I tried to write down a detailed description of each event and my thoughts and emotions through all of it, this blog would quickly turn into a short novel. Thus, I’ll try to keep the list […]

Well first off, today is day 3 and it is the first time I have actually had time to use my computer. Day zero went by pretty fast, it was nice hanging out with my parents at the Oasis and it was also quite interesting seeing everyone with their parents and dressed up nice and […]

I’ve been preparing for this 70 day bike ride for over a year and a half, but one thing I never anticipated is the difficulty of saying goodbye to my loved ones. Day zero was filled with festivities including a send-off ceremony on the UT campus, a gathering at LiveSTRONG headquarters, a leisurely 40 mile […]

I know, I know. I am behind in blogging.. I wasn’t expecting to be so tired every day. Plus the spotty internet doesn’t help. Here is a quick run down of the first couple days. I will try to be more detailed in the blogs to come, especially once I am caught up… Day Zero. […]

There are so many things I would like to put into words, and so I will attempt. It is day 3 of our ride. Day Zero- Was great, first we had an amazing presentation at the LBJ fountain on campus. Two of my best friends from high school, Alan and Laura, came to see me […]

Today I left my Rockies brothers and sisters. It was really hard to go two different ways. We all teared up and gave each other good bye hugs. I am confident they will rock it (no pun intended). We rode 98 miles from Lampasas to Brownwood today. It was a good ride. All the ride […]

Day 2: June 3rd Lampasas to Stephenville (Tarelton state university) Miles: 92 They say the hakka can ignite the fire of all the riders of Texas 4000. And truly it lived to its expectation. It was the most alive moment feeling ever of an ancient roar that yelled the spirit of t4k. And now we […]

June 2nd Day 1 Cedar Park to Lampasas Miles: 50 Today was our big day. The first official official ride day to begin the journey outside of Austin. Wake up time was 5:30am to prepare for the atlas ride. After ride dedication circle we prepared for the ride. It was emotional as we walked the […]

It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I developed an appreciation for roller coasters. Hopefully you like them too, so that you can relate. Depending on which theme park you’ve been to, you know this ride as the Scream, the Superman, or something else. You are strapped to a seat that is attached […]

I’m currently laying beneath the brilliantly bright moon listening tO my team mates sing Disney songs from across the field. Needless to say, day one was a success. We kicked off from the middle school in cedar park around 8 am this morning. Excitement hung in the air as we realized this is really happening. […]
