I woke up naturally today at 7:45 which is something I don’t get to say often on this trip. Everyone else was asleep but Kitty so we decided to drive the car into town in order to get breakfast and connect to the internet. The wifi at Tim Hortons was down (do they even have […]

What a whirlwind of a day. It did start off pretty slow though; SAG woke us up at 7:30 but no one actually got out of their sleeping bags until about 30 minutes later. We only had to ride 26 miles today so no one was in any sort of rush. After Emmy cooked some […]

Our ride dedication circle this morning was on the shores of Lake Teslin, which is apparently a 90 mile long lake. Mike and his family (including Lena) joined us and we had a really meaningful dedication time. At this point in the ride we have become so close that we pretty much share one heart […]

Wake up this morning was extra early at 5:30 since it still takes us a while in the morning to get ready. We are 58 days in and I finally figured out how to pack my bag fast; of course it happens when we are nearly finished with the ride. It gave me extra time […]

We’ve hit Yukon Territory! From Dease Lake we biked to Jade City, where oddly they were filming for a new show on Discovery Channel. We may or may not have an appearance on an episode…who knows. The “city” had three buildings, all run by the same few people. After a bonfire and some rest, we […]

This morning everyone woke up to the sound of the recreational center alarm going off for the second time. I had woken up early to get in the right mindset of the day and a head start on packing so the alarm didn’t surprise me as much as it did others. After finishing packing and […]

I’ve really enjoyed today being a part of the SAG team with Mukthi and Maritza. Because we were helping the team ride a planned 130 miles, we had to get up super early at 3 a.m. My alarm definitely went off for about 10 minutes before it could pull me out of sleep. Waking up […]

What a great rest day. Although I woke up a few times during the night, I didn’t actually fully wake up until I heard Mark come by our tent at 10:30 and exclaim that the restaurant across the street was going to stop serving breakfast in 30 minutes. That’s all it took for me to […]

This post is about a topic that I don’t talk about often… It is something I havent really shared it with my team; it’s too painful, it brings me to tears every time… but I have decided to share it here because it might help someone else going through a similar situation. Right now I’m […]

Here’s a quick recap of the past 2 days since our rest day in Prince George: Day 54: Prince George -> Beaumont Provincial Park (Provinical park is a state park… get it? Because there are not states in Canada, just provinces!! I thought that was cool. Patrick probably told us that. He seriously knows everything….) […]
