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 9 Encino to Albuquerque

After a 115 mile ride the team rolled into beautiful Albuquerque. The team was joined by Woman Riding Well, a local riding group for the last 20 miles. 


We had a blue filled day at rest stops. Using sunscreen and food coloring we painted ourselves blue to recreate the Blue Man (and Woman) Group and later the Smurfs. 

 We meet some interesting characters along the way....
