Hey everybody. So I just found out that the last blog I typed up in Albuquerque had gotten deleted. Bummer. Big time. I didn’t save that anywhere else. Oh well, so it goes. I’m going to keep on writing anyway, and just hope that it doesn’t happen again. For you, my readers. I’m in Cottonwood, […]

Today I decided to escape the world and go climb some rocks. A couple of friends and I ventured out to the Grey Rock trail in Poudre Canyon to enjoy the fresh air, get lost in some trail dust, and perhaps even loose some of tribulations in the process. But while I was running away […]

Beginning Note: It’s finally here! I’m so ecstatic to be on this amazing ride with my extraordinary teammates. I will cherish every moment this summer as this truly is a once in a lifetime experience. On that note, it has been pretty difficult to find internet, since we have been camping lately (ahem, more than […]

We’re in Arizona! Last night I was fortunate enough to get to spend some time on a hill top watching the sunset with a few teammates. I have these moments in life when I feel like it’s almost… eternal. Like the moment will never end, I will always remember it, and it’s borderline surreal. Last […]

Week 2: Day 8- Day 14 Day 8: 6-11 Rest Day in Oklahoma City! Woke up early (guess I’m getting used to it) and took a 30 minute walk around the OCU campus. It was a pretty leisurely morning, some girls and I walked to a nearby Starbucks before going to get sandwiches for lunch. […]

I was in oncology rounds at the Animal Cancer Center this friday, and we received a visitor who wanted to share her cancer story with us. Mrs. Diane Lahn has lived with breast cancer since her 20s. After surgery and chemo, she was given full remission status and left the hospital a survivor, only to […]

Atlas: 6:30am and all 45 of us are in our dedication circle. Tears filled the room after each rider said who they ride for. Initially I didn’t want to get emotional about my ride dedication, but I couldn’t help it. I dedicated my ride to my aunt who surprised me by coming to Austin a […]

It is now day 10. I am writing from the beautiful campus of the First United Methodist Church in Woodward Oklahoma and much has passed since I last communicated my thoughts. I have decided that I will try to write an entry for every 5 days this Summer, I may not be able to communicate […]

Day 8 (Oklahoma City) I’ve finally had some time to sit down and blog about how the ride is going in this thing. It’s day 8 and our rest day in Oklahoma City is nearing to an end. So far the trip has been physically demanding, emotionally grueling, but spiritually awakening. I won’t lie, the […]

I ride for Sonja McLemore. It’s finally here! We biked around 30 miles today from the University of Texas campus to LIVESTRONG headquarters with a police escort and then onto Jack and Adams (our team sponsor and bike shop) for lunch with the family. At campus we had several guest speakers including on from the […]
