We had to drive in about 20 miles to Houston yesterday due to the heavy amount of traffic & arrived at St John’s School about 5pm. St John’s allowed us to sleep in their gym, which is fully equipped with showers, laundry & even an ice bath to relax our muscles. The school hosted us […]

Tomorrow is the day. I seem to have stumbled into a time warp because I definitely got into T4K like a month ago… yet here I am, biking to Alaska starting tomorrow. If we were still counting down in meetings, our last slide would say 1 DAY!!! I am feeling so, so many emotions right now […]

There’s only one way to ride your bike into Aggieland as a Longhorn: with Texas Fight blasting on the speaker & your horns held high. The constable of Brazos county met us at the county line to escort us 10 miles into town, where we were welcomed by the Brazos Valley Chapter of Texas Exes […]

Day 0: 73 miles, Austin, TX -> Lampasas, TX A hot and sweaty day! After eating tacos from Snooze, we bonded together over our first ride dedication circle of the summer.

Today was the day that the three routes broke off & began their respective journeys. The goodbyes were hard, tears were shed & every neck was hugged. Though it is sad to have to split up, we know that we’ll get to see one another again soon & that during the time we are apart […]

This morning the team kicked off day one with 600 other cyclists by our sides. The crowd was made up of Texas 4000 alumni, BHI representatives, friends & family of riders, & many more people from the cycling community. The annual ATLAS ride was challenging for both the 25 & 50-mile routes, & the Texas […]

There are only 3 days until day zero. On that day I will hop on my bike and leave Austin for good.  As I sit in a room that I have moved out of except for my bike, camping gear, and a 60L duffel bag of stuff that will sustain me until I reach Anchorage, I can’t […]

After a year and a half of meetings, work outs, volunteering, planning, & riding, the 2018 team is just a week away from starting our journey to Alaska. Throughout the summer I will be posting updates on the Ozarks route: where we have been, where we are going, & all of the sights in between. Join […]

It has been a crazy year. Here are a few of the things I learned. Being on the bike is cathartic, exhausting, and exhilarating at the same time. It is one of my favorite places to be. There is no conversation you can’t have on the bike. We are capable of taking on many more […]
