I woke up at 7 this morning, although quite tired, to go on an hour long walk and enjoy Edmonton. The church is located right in the city which has been extremely cool because everything is in walking distance. Kitty joined me and we enjoyed a cool view of downtown from a grassy hill. We […]

Today ended up being fairly relaxing, mainly because the ride was shortened to 41 miles after we determined that the last miles were unsafe to ride. I rode with Becca, Nguyen, Mark, and Neha. I talked with Neha for the first part of the ride until the first and only rest stop. Sunshine joined our […]

Hello hello! Guess what. I biked 132 miles today. WHAT?! how little legs, how? We left our wonderful lake house – host south of Seattle (Auburn) and rode to Anacortes, where one of our riders, Ben Keeler, lives. Just because I ranted about it a while back…. today was not a mountain climb. One of […]

Hi!We are getting ready to leave Portland. We had a great time here, and really enjoyed our rest day yesterday.Unfortunately though, we had another accident. My friend and teammate Anna  had a tough fall on trolley tracks in dt Portland. Totally not her fault, just a simple accident as her tire got stuck in all […]

Today was one of those unexpectedly good days, so expect a lot of pictures. Even though we woke up at 5, I felt well rested and ready for the day. The SAG team (Trent, Neha, Maritza, Sunshine, and Becca) cooked us a breakfast of potatoes (which is my favorite excuse to eat ketchup), bacon, and […]

Haley got some egg and sausage sandwiches donated from Tim Horton’s (a restaurant equivalent to Dunkin Donuts) this morning which were extremely good. We had everything packed up and ready to go earlier than normal and I rolled out with my ride group of Kristina, Ross, Nguyen, Maritza, and Kevin. Today was such a good […]

We’re on day 43 of the trip and I’m sitting in the kitchen of a small, friendly church in Mcbride, British Columbia. For the past few days we haven’t been near civilization, which has been liberating and also strangely claustrophobic. I’ve roamed through the trees in our campsites and it’s relieving to stand in the […]

We woke up 6 in order to pack up, eat a breakfast of ham and pancakes prepared by the church, and get our bikes ready to go. The ride dedication circle was in the front yard of the church, and today I rode for Joseph (who I met MD Anderson) who is still going through […]

I woke up 15 minutes early so had time to enjoy the sunrise with Josh who also happened to be up early. By 6 a.m. our campsite was completely packed up and we were joining in with the Twelve Tribes morning gathering. After singing a couple songs, breakfast was served in the main house which […]

We got up at 11 a.m. this morning, which is probably the latest I have slept since the start of the ride (and will probably stay that way). Kathryn cooked us another amazing breakfast (waffles, bacon, eggs, toast, and cherries). Then we said our goodbyes and were off to our next host home at 2 […]
