Waking up at 5:00am for the first time was quite difficult. All my body wanted to do was stay in my sleeping bag but I knew that I needed to get up ASAP and begin folding and deflating my sleeping pad or I was not going to get fed. (Yeah, we need to have all […]

This morning I woke up from a great night of sleep in an actual bed. I have a feeling that beds are going to become more and more rare, so I will definitely enjoy them while it lasts. My hosts cooked a wonderful breakfast, including providing us with some great biking snacks. One of them […]

The 2014 team is off and away, only a few days into the journey I and my teammates will embark upon in a year’s time. While last Friday may have been day zero for 2014, it almost feels as if 2015 had a day zero of our own. My teammates have echoed this sentiment: the […]

This is an attempt to capture the first couple days of our journey so far. It’s been a hectic couple of days, as one would imagine. So forgive me for the lack of updates and for this lengthy blog to follow. It’s as much for my donors and supporters as it is for me. The […]

  Our journey has begun and, as we enter the fourth day, this experience is starting to feel like it’s really happening. There have been many moments in the very short time we’ve been riding that have inspired me, but I found yesterday morning particularly touching. We woke up in Glen Rose, Texas on Day […]

I’ve known Daniella since 6th grade and we’ve spent every summer together ever since. I met Alex my freshmen year in college […]

Hello everyone! I’m writing today from the beautiful home of Courtney’s uncle, Bob Schutze, just north of downtown Dallas.  We have our first rest day today, and got some much needed rest last night.  The ride is finally underway, and we’ve had a fun few days of riding.  Yesterday was an awesome ride, we started […]

We made it to College Station safely, and good news, there are in fact some longhorns who live here. I think all 20 of them visited us at the College Station High School where we rolled in after a long day of riding. I, however, got out of riding today because I was one of […]

This morning we rode in and out of the CPE parking lot for one last time as a team. Since November we had been meeting here very Saturday morning to roll out for our training rides. None of this feels real yet but the 79 of us will no longer do this again.   Today’s […]
