Hey Yall, Well I had a great rest day in Lake Tahoe (pah, who wouldn’t… paradise…). I went out on the lake with kind friends of our host, Dena and Dick. They have an awesome 35ft boat (it has a bed in it?!). Dena and I were able to talk for a long time about […]
Hello everyone! Sorry it’s been a few days without an update. We’ve had sketchy service. Although… this has been a good experiment about which provider has the most comprehensive coverage in this part of the country. I’m happy to say that AT&T easily wins the competition. It’s funny how everyone is harping on the other […]
Hey guys!We made it to Cali two days ago! After a long driving day, over 300 miles, we left the desert for Good. We stopped at lake success and rode 10 miles in to the small town of Springville, California. It’s in the valley area of inland California. There are tons of orange orchards here. […]
Hey!Well sadly we left Zion today. Zion was incredible to say th least. I’ve been there before when I was a kid but seeing it again, and biking to it, still seemed like the first time. It’s so beautiful. Right away after that 30 mile bike in (by the way had some major climbs after […]
Wow! I might have just had the most amazing 10 minutes of my entire life!!! After climbing for a while, we had 4 miles of complete downhill into the canyon. Were a few miles away from Zion now. Wow. I’m just blown away at how beautiful that was. I couldn’t take pics because going 35mph […]
Hey everyone!Wow. We rode through the prettiest canyons today. What a change from the flat hot lands of texas. The red rocks and canyons jutted out of the ground like majestic sculptures. The mix of colors with green shrubs, red dirt and pink sandstone looked like somethin from postcards. I’ve driven this area before on […]
Today has been fairly unusual, mostly because there was a slight mishap with the trailer that holds all our gear. It will probably have to be in the shop for about a week, so get ready for an interesting few days. We can fit most of our gear in the vans by themselves, but without […]
Even though today was only a 50 mile ride, it was still hard as there was some leftover leg soreness from the Eureka Springs challenge. Today was also unique in that instead of biking out of Eureka Springs, we drove 50 miles to Aurora, MO. We did this so that we could enjoy our morning […]
Today we beat the Eureka Springs challenge. Sorry for the spoiler, but I’m so excited that all 13 people who started the challenge finished it. Everyone did an amazing job. The morning started off with a very meaningful ride dedication circle. We would all need to remember why we ride in order to get through […]
I tend not to have anything to write unless I’m emotionally stirred. Today did just that. It made me feel more connected and appreciative of Texas 4000. Eureka Springs is a day alumni warned us about since they returned in August of last year. When the travel committee had to again plan, we knew it […]
