Today’s ride took us out of Jackson & north to Kosciusko. For 50 of the 65 miles we rode, we were on the famous Natchez Trace Parkway, an incredibly smooth & scenic road that runs from Natchez, MS to Nashville, TN. The parkway is a popular road for cyclists because of its quality & beauty. […]

Today was an 80-mile ride from McComb to Jackson, the capitol of Mississippi. We rode incredibly well & knocked out those 80-miles in around 7 hours total & got to Jackson early enough to visit a local restaurant, Hoppers & Havanas, recommended by our host. Tonight, we get the incredible luxury of staying with 2015 […]

We already crossed into a new state! Today we rode from New Orleans to McComb, Mississippi. Along the way, we got stuck in the rain & were very frustrated because we have been stopped so many times in the past few days because of rain, but we were able to take shelter in the Tangipahoa […]

On Day 0, I woke up at 3:30am – without an alarm clock. I stared at the ceiling, stomach churning with apprehension. How do you even fathom the idea that you’re going to bike across a continent? How does that make any logical sense? Every day would be a new road, a new destination, a […]

Day 5: Dallas, TX -> Gainesville, TX, 64 miles We enjoyed a short ride and fabulous rest stops put on by the Warren and Welsh families. We were greeted at the Gainesville High School warmly by Leslie and the Mayor of Gainesville, who told us about his cycling adventures and his crash on the bike […]

Day 0: On Day 0 we arrived at Rowling Hall with only our bikes and a few other essential items as we had already loaded our duffels in the trailer the night before. We enjoyed breakfast tacos provided by Snooze A.M. Eatery before we gathered for our first ride dedication circle of the summer. We […]

Unfortunately, we were hit by a storm yesterday & only made it 10 miles out of Lafayette before we had to load the vans & drive through the thunderstorm to New Orleans. Because of this, we arrived much earlier than we expected & were able to get lunch as a team. Naturally, we all decided […]

With a beautiful sunrise to send us off, we left Lake Charles & headed to Lafayette. It was a 80 mile route & we got 60 miles of the way through before a Louisiana storm stopped us. It had been a hot morning, so the clouds rolling in were welcomed, but the lightning strikes were […]

The team finally rode out of Texas & into Louisiana! Our support & gear team for today had a lucrative day for food donations. Whataburger donated a meal for each of the riders, Chick-fil-a provided chicken biscuits & a local taco shop in Bridge City donated tacos to us. The Lake Charles Yacht Club was […]

Another long, hot day for the books. We rode 94 miles of flat, windy terrain from Houston to get to Beaumont. The combination of heat & exhaustion from going for a week now made today’s ride especially difficult. Rest stops were set up every 10 or so miles to refill waters & carb load with […]
