There are no words

It as been over a week since we have completed out journey and I am still finding it difficult to put in words how I feel. I am still traveling around so Internet access is of course very limited. I will put up a much longer recap of everything once things finally settle down a bit. But in short, the trip was truly a life changing experience, I was able to see and do things I never though were possible and all for a great cause. I am honestly tearing up a bit as I write this so I will just leave you all with this picture of a few of us at the end.

Almost there...

So here we are. 30 miles out from our final destination of San Diego. We got our first far off view of the Pacific today and it was quite exciting. We have come so far and gone through so many obstacles to get here. The last couple of days have been particularly hard for our group. Tomorrow it all comes to a glorious end. Stay tuned for a solid recap to come.

Yet another quick update

Hey all,
So sadly this leg of the trip does not allow for much time on the Internet so the blog posts are still going to be few and far between. We have journeyed through much of Arizona and it has been a very interesting experience. The first part was through the northern region in many different Indian reservations. Much of this land was very desolate but had some beautiful canyons and rock formations.

We then traveled into the Grand Canyon. It was easily the most impressive and awe inspiring scenery that we have come across. The pictures you see of it simply do not do it justice. I only wish we had more time to spend in it, to go hiking and exploring. I am already making plans to come back again.

We are currently in Prescott AZ and have just finished up our final build days. We have only 7 more ride days till our final destination of San Diego. It is mind blowing to think of everything we have done and how far we have come. I am ready for a break but I know already that I don't want such an amazing trip to end.

On a tragic note, one of our Riders had to leave our trip yesterday. She sustained an injury in the Rockies and an infection has spread prompting medical care. She should be fine but it was horribly heartbreaking for her and for us to have to leave the trip so close to the end. Jackie if you are reading this, we miss you already and wish you a quick recovery. We can't wait to see you in San Diego.

Quick Update

Not much time these days to post but hopefully in the next few days I will add more. We are pretty much out of the Rockies right now and it is safe to say that it was an amazing experience. The views were just incredible and my riding ability has really improved. I have really come into my own as a rider and have become not to shabby at climbing these mountains. Colorado is a very beautiful state and I am excited to see what AZ has to offer. We are entering the final portions of the trip and every one is starting to get excited and sad for the end and San Diego.
