Greetings from Indiana, a whole 100 miles from where we started this morning! Our team absolutely crushed our first century today, including many first-time century riders. We woke up at 4:30 to get a head start on the day. We were a little worried about running out of daylight and really wanted everyone to haveContinue reading “Day 13: Dayton, OH to Greensburg, IN”

Days 9 & 10: New Philadelphia, PA to Dresden, OH to Columbus, OH
Day 9 Yesterday we arrived in the small town of Dresden, home of the Longaberger basket company. It would have been a great host situation regardless, but I was especially thankful for a nice place to stay, showers, and a few hours at a tavern with the team after the day we had. The scheduledContinue reading “Days 9 & 10: New Philadelphia, PA to Dresden, OH to Columbus, OH”
Days 4 & 5: Bedford, PA to Confluence, PA
After a rough day getting in to Bedford, we were ready to seize a new day on our way to Confluence. It took us way too long to get on the road, but after a great breakfast and sweet goodbye with the folks from Bedford Presbyterian we were on our way. The route wasn’t asContinue reading “Days 4 & 5: Bedford, PA to Confluence, PA”
Day 3: Shippensburg, PA to Bedford, PA
After how bad I felt on the climbs yesterday I was really dreading the ride today, given this elevation profile: But, it ended up being a pretty awesome day!

My next update will hopefully be this upcoming Saturday, after my two days of 4K orientation and the night before send-off, which means that this is my last post before I really get into the 4K experience. I’m feeling lots of emotions right now (excitement, panic, nervousness, gratitude, etc.) asContinue reading “Week 20: End of pre-4K life”
Weeks 14-16: Wrapping up
It’s hard to believe but we’ve already reached my final week in Lexington! The past few weeks involved more of the same from my last update– lots of work, not much training, and crappy weather– but I did finally finish my thesis!!!!! Well, not fully, but I have a complete draft and now just needContinue reading “Weeks 14-16: Wrapping up”
Weeks 12 & 13: Reality checks
I took a break from blogging last week to devote more time to my thesis and it kind of paid off I guess? I was hoping to be done with data analysis by now but it’s taking longer than I expected and I definitely need to consult some of my professors before actually writing theContinue reading “Weeks 12 & 13: Reality checks”
Week 4: Getting my 4K bike!
This week was a bit of a choose-your-own-adventure situation because there was an error with the provided training plan– no scheduled rides! It ended up being the perfect week for that error though because my motivation to ride and prepare for this summer was super high after getting my 4K bike on Tuesday!!! Here’s theContinue reading “Week 4: Getting my 4K bike!”
