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 34 Rest Day in South Lake Tahoe

South Lake Tahoe is absolutely gorgeous and all of us were completely spoiled by our hosts! 

Sarah and I stayed in the cashmere room! Everything was cashmere!

We had a wonderful time exploring Tahoe

BUT the best part was when I went to an orthopedic surgery and he said although it would be painful I can ride! As an added bonus I don't have to wear my knee brace anymore (it was actually making things worse) I was glad to be rid of that eye sore.
