I set my alarm 30 minutes early but that still didn’t prevent everyone in my tent from managing to sleep in 30 minutes. Breakfast was oatmeal as usual and then Josh and I enjoyed a view of the lake before ride dedications. It was something like I’ve never seen before, a huge glassy lake with […]

I set my alarm thirty minutes early so I ended up waking up right on time (strategic, I know). I had decided to sleep downstairs in order to guard the front door (it couldn’t be locked and I thought any intruder would find me intimidating. I also used my super cool Boy Scout knots to […]

For some reason it was really hard to wake up this morning (the Rockies wake up call was slightly louder than we are used to. We also might have a tent pact to wake up 30 minutes after when we are supposed to). Sure enough, our tent was the last to be packed up and […]

I woke up naturally today at 7:45 which is something I don’t get to say often on this trip. Everyone else was asleep but Kitty so we decided to drive the car into town in order to get breakfast and connect to the internet. The wifi at Tim Hortons was down (do they even have […]

What a whirlwind of a day. It did start off pretty slow though; SAG woke us up at 7:30 but no one actually got out of their sleeping bags until about 30 minutes later. We only had to ride 26 miles today so no one was in any sort of rush. After Emmy cooked some […]

Our ride dedication circle this morning was on the shores of Lake Teslin, which is apparently a 90 mile long lake. Mike and his family (including Lena) joined us and we had a really meaningful dedication time. At this point in the ride we have become so close that we pretty much share one heart […]

Wake up this morning was extra early at 5:30 since it still takes us a while in the morning to get ready. We are 58 days in and I finally figured out how to pack my bag fast; of course it happens when we are nearly finished with the ride. It gave me extra time […]

We’ve hit Yukon Territory! From Dease Lake we biked to Jade City, where oddly they were filming for a new show on Discovery Channel. We may or may not have an appearance on an episode…who knows. The “city” had three buildings, all run by the same few people. After a bonfire and some rest, we […]

This morning everyone woke up to the sound of the recreational center alarm going off for the second time. I had woken up early to get in the right mindset of the day and a head start on packing so the alarm didn’t surprise me as much as it did others. After finishing packing and […]

I’ve really enjoyed today being a part of the SAG team with Mukthi and Maritza. Because we were helping the team ride a planned 130 miles, we had to get up super early at 3 a.m. My alarm definitely went off for about 10 minutes before it could pull me out of sleep. Waking up […]
