Day 1


Day 2

Difficulty

Hey Everybody!
Okay, so today was supposed to be the hardest day. But to tell you the truth, I thought yestereday was harder. First, it was my birthday and I realy wanted to get home. Second, it was hot. Today it drizzled/rained. And it happened when we were going downhill, which was great! I can't wait for tomorrow!

The Eastern Continental Divide - Day 2 of Trip

I DID IT!

I finished the first day!

61 miles in about 5 and a half hours. It was pretty tough, but I got through it. But TOMORROW is the toughest. I am not sure if I am riding all of it or not..just going to do my best. I am really anxious. I just had my birthday party because today is my birthday, and I got a lot of neat stuff! On my trip today, I also discovered the happy potty!

To be continued...

Almost

Hey everybody!
Tomorrow is the day to start! I am really nervous and I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun! I will be updating every day, just to remind you! Once again, I can't wait! Also I would like to thank everbody for the donations up to this point. We are getting very far, and the donations are very much appreciated!
