Today was the end. I awoke and found it hard to pack. The ride dedication took 2 hours as everyone shared what the whole ride had meant to them. Before heading out I had to run and buy a new helmet to replace my melted one. John and I raced to the Mirror Lake rest […]

It was cold today and it got colder. I was freezing until we actually headed out and I had a chance to warm up. The first rest stop was at a diner that served cinnamon buns the size of your face. I enjoyed one with a cup of coffee before heading out. Just out of […]

I awoke, packed, ate breakfast, and headed out. Caitlin, my girlfriend, and I talked on the phone at every rest stop. With less than a week, she is really excited about me coming back home. We stopped for some beer before making camp, dinner, and sleep.

Having not taken our Alaska sign pictures at the first border crossing, we had to head back and finish the job. It was a 2 hour sag to the border, 2 hours at the border, and 2 hours back. We didn’t get on our bikes until 5. I was skeptical that we could finish, but […]

I sagged today. I awoke early and packed my things. I snagged a quick breakfast before packing the trailer. We got a bit of gas and headed for the 40 mile rest stop. Andrea and I prepared a large lunch of spaghetti and mac and cheese. We went ahead and washed mess kits as well […]

Everyone awoke to the excitement of a border race. I had my game face on and ate breakfast silently. I really felt that I had a chance to win and took it very seriously. Before starting we decided to run with Rockies against Sierras. We had our top 10 against theirs for men and our […]

I awoke to find that my tent was not really rain proof. My ground pad kept me above the worst, but most of my possessions were wet. Kelly was kind enough to bring me my rain gear. The rain made it hard to pack but everyone got it done with good spirits. I started a […]

Breakfast was frustrating again. I knew it was my last opportunity for hard riding before the border race and I obliged myself the whole day. I cruised from stop to stop as fast as I could. I felt great and in peak shape. Tonight was the first time camping with the Sierras. I took a […]

The morning was frustrating as not enough breakfast was ready and took a long time to get fed. I had enjoyed my solitary riding from the day before and continued to do so. Before lunch we had the single largest group to ever go swimming in a cold glacial lake. 25 of us in all […]
