We took the lesson of the challenge to heart. Jinyang, Jordan, and I set off at a blistering pace and soon made the first rest stop despite several really long hills. From there the road turned to gravel, crossed a river and began to climb. A bee flew into my helmet and stung me before […]
We left quickly and I rode with Kristen quite a bit. I saw another bear while separated fr a group. I saw it fr a way off and shouted at it to go away which it oblidged. That makes 6 bear sighting. We ran into the saggers from the Dease Lake Challenge. The were really […]
The Dease Lake Challenge riders left early in the morning to attempt to ride 210 miles in a single day. I was later woken by Jinyang and got ready quickly. To avoid annoying other campers we did our dedication at the entrance of the park. The ride was a short 60 miles but we still […]
Not much happened today. We awoke, rode, and set up camp. The park had wifi and lots of wind. I went to bed early.
Some of the team was up all night with some food poisoning. They stayed at the church while the rest of us set out. I started my ride with Jordan and we set a quick pace to the first stop. It was right next to a canyon with natives fishing. I saw a man catch […]
Today was a long ride. I dedicated my ride to my host’s kids. I hope that thier generation can grow up without cancer. I rode with Jinyang. We discussed physics, engineering, and love. For lunch I was able to enjoy some bear sausage from my host. We arrived in smithers to a church and a […]
I was very glad to be back on a bike. I gave my bike a bit of a tune up and put some tape on the aero bars for aesthetic balance and a bit of grip. After even more pancakes (we have them nearly every morning), I set off with Brett, John, and Dan at […]
Today I sagged out of Prince George. With our bikes being cleaned, it was complicated to leave. Some went to one bike shop while some with me to Sport Check which probed hard to find. I got lost twice with a big van full of people before I asked for help. Everyone went to Dorrie’s […]
Finally get internet access again in Beaver Creek, so I wanted to give yall a little update on how things have been going. We all made it thru the infamous Sierra sag from Burns Lake, which is not quite where we were expecting it to happen. T4K Sierras usually sag from Smithers into Whitehorse, where […]
We’re finally reunited. The sunny Sierras and the rockin’ Rockies are together, and despite our differences, we’re having an amazing time. When the we, the Sierras arrived to Whitehorse, we actually made it before the Rockies due to forest fires and closed roads. We waited for their arrival nervously and impatiently. We had heard of […]
