I am biking across America in order to raise money and awareness for the affordable housing issue. The Central US group and I plan to take off May 21st from Virgina Beach, VA and end up in Canon Beach, OR by July 31st. Along the way we will trade our bikes for hammers and build/repair homes for affordable housing organizations approximately once a week.

Photoset

to spice our century ride up, our leaders split the 31 of us into groups to compete in a photo scavenger hunt. the competition was split between yesterday’s ride and the day before that. our team was enthusiastic about it and we took all of the photos - some are uploaded here. We are showing pictures tonight to see who wins. i think team USA - me, alyson, kristen, will, and caroline - will win :)

otherwise, the past two riding days with team USA were beautiful. We are taking a day off at a family’s house here in Jackson, WY today. Many camped in the yard but some slept in the garage. The view from their house is amazing… right next to horse/cow pastures and the Teton mountains - which we will be climbing through tomorrow. Our hosts are awesome, letting us stay at their house, and even driving us through Teton Park to see some bison, moose, and the mountains. great thanks to them
