This is the summer of Texas 4000! Texas 4000 is a non-profit student organization from the University of Texas that is dedicated to fighting cancer by sharing hope, knowledge, and charity across North America through a 4,500 mile bicycle ride from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska. I will be spending 70 days with 45 of my closest friends pedaling through deserts, mountains, cities, and everything in between. We will sleep in schools, homes, campsites, anything that's free. The ride is the eye catcher but the most important part of Texas 4000 is what we do when we are off our bike. As a team, we raise money for cancer research and give programs throughout the ride spreading the latest information in cancer prevention and research. I will be trying to post pictures, videos, daily comments on this blog, but I will also be updating my journal on www.texas4000.org.

Day 10 and 11 Albuquerque Rest Day

Due to the fires in Arizona, we had two "rest"days though they weren't very restful. We have actually decided to rename our rest days-adventure days. We hit up bike shops and ran a few errands followed by lunch at the Frontier...green chili yum. Then we rode the tram to Sandia Peak! 




The 15 minute tram ride was totally worth the beautiful view, but I did feel pretty sick by the time we reached the top. 
"It's so beautiful I could throw up..."


We ended our adventure day with dinner and a program at the mayor's house.
