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 3 Brownwood to Winters

My knee is preventing me from riding for another week so another day as SAG!

Sam writing words of inspiration on a huge hill

We had a wonderful lunch rest stop at the Reynolds


The hot dog feast was greatly appreciated!


Then we had another incredible themed rest stop: Egyptian!




Mummies included



We ended the day with a swim and a program for the Winter Chamber of Commerce and our hosts! I had an incredible host who built us a fire and feed us lots of goodies.
