Unfortunately we have to stayed in Dease Lake for another day because there is a big forest fire in the border of British Columbia and Yukon… Hopefully this wont affect any of our plan. I helped Mama Z in the kitchen. John taught me how to cook rainbow trout and pasta. And we also made […]

So we have reunited with the Sierra route and it is hard to have time to talk to every rider to see how their summer has been on a different route, but I finally got a moment to blog a bit on the very exciting last couple of weeks in the wilderness of British Columbia […]

Dease Lake, BC to Jade City, BC We woke up to a beautiful bright morning, and had breakfast as usual. The fire situation was about the same as it was yesterday: we’d be able to ride to Jade City, but none further. However, there may be a chance to drive through at certain times. After […]

Rest in Dease Lake, BC take two. Wake up was at 8am for today’s 80-mile ride. At 7:45 I woke up to several people talking outside the tents. Lauren, Brett and Dan were about to make rounds to wake up everyone for a quick team meeting. We never have meetings in the morning… News arrived […]

Rest in Dease Lake, BC Today was the first day in a while where we pretty much had nothing planned for the team. Until after dinner we could do whatever we wanted around town. Even though Dease Lake is a tiny town, it was quite sufficient for our needs. Next door to the restaurant is […]

I feel like a little kid learning to ride their bike. When the kid is learning and finally begins to ride without anyone helping they have a moment where they realize what they are doing. I feel like that-I am 5 again, riding a bike for the first time and all I want to do […]

Yesterday, after 58 days of riding within our own groups, the Sierras reunited the Rockies, or vis versa depending on your perspective. I was lucky enough to meet up with the Rockies first. After a 35ish hour non-stop van ride around British Columbia to avoid forest fire, the Sierras finally arived here at our host […]

This summer, I have spent most of my time at working at CVS. Of all store locations to be hired at, it had to be the one that has the highest cigarette sales in the entire district. And let me tell you, cartons upon cartons are sold each day. It’s kind of ridiculous. As a […]

As I near the end of my Texas 4000 adventure, I reflect upon the last two months and realize that I have a mere 12 days left until I exit the world of biking, camping, and Rockies adventures and resume my student life in Austin. I couldn’t be more disappointed for my summer to end, […]

In the wilderness and so many things have happened since my last update. I feel like I’m in a daze. We don’t know what day of the week it is – or even the date. But it’s getting near the end and I want to savor every moment. I remember waking up when there was […]
