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 7 Clovis to Fort Sumner

It's Friday Friday Friday so accordingly we had a Friday themed rest stop, thanks Rebeeca Black

The ride was only 60 miles so we had some time to spare at the rest stops. We decided to play a pick-up game of apple baseball followed by ninja.
The pitch....

swing and a hit! 

The smoke from the fires in Arizona is starting to affect us but we find clever ways to  overcome.
