*I had no internet when I wrote this journal yesterday. What a day. We woke up at 5:23 a.m. to Reid singing Mr. Brightside by the Killers. Breakfast was served by the Luton’s (bagels, yogurt, muffins, and my favorite, orange juice), and then we loaded the trailers and headed out. We had another police escort […]

Hellloo!So I couldn’t write yesterday or else id probably be incomprehensible.. Yesterday was hard. So hard. 100 miles in 104-108 degrees from Snyder to Lubbock on one highway. I remember thinking, “how can I keep pedaling? We’ve got to get in the vans now.. There’s no way were finishing this” .. But somehow someway we […]

Hey y’all !Real quick because in trying to get at least 5 hours of sleep tonight…Today real texas 4000 life set in. After yesterday full of smooth roads and tail winds, today was the bumpiest graveliest (?) roads I’ve ever been on. Plus super hard navigation. I guess not many people bike from Abilene to […]

Hello!I’m sitting on a tarp, escaping the hot asphalt, with a full belly, no sun burn and a big smile at our second rest stop of the day. Today we are riding 70 miles from brownwood to Abilene. God listened to y’all’s prayers because oh my gosh we have the best tailwind and flat roads! […]

Hi Friends and Family! Here’s the first official email of the Elaine2Alaska group. We are 4 days away from starting this adventure on Friday, “day zero”. I’ve been frantically trying to get all my gear together and move out of my house in Austin at the same time. (Thanks Mom and Dad!) If any of you are […]

Hi everyone!I’m in my kitchen, anxiously eating some biscuits before I’m about to leave .. Like actually leave! Today is Day zero, last night was my last nigh in my own bed with whatever good I want, before I start a summer full of sleeping bags, tents, or wherever else we end up and whatever […]

During the 120-mile ride yesterday, I felt some sharp pain in my good knee. Then, I woke up today with a bump on my knee and some pain. So, hopefully with some rest the swelling will go down and I can figure out what’s wrong. For now, I’m nervous about how my knees will hold […]

Day 6: Thanks to a police escort, we passed the Oklahoma border today on our bikes while coasting on IH 35.  So, I’ve ridden my bike on the interstate, which I never thought I’d be bragging about. We rode 120 miles today in 100 degree heat…which is more mileage and a higher temperature than I’ve ever […]

Sorry for not updating until now, but I have been pretty busy between riding, interacting with hosts, and sleeping! Day 1: Atlas. I had the privilege of riding 25 miles today with my mom, Aunt Beth, sisters Mary and Anna, and friend from Duchesne, Olivia. We were lucky enough to have my Uncle Kevin as […]
