AUSTIN, TX — The Texas 4000 for Cancer 2022 team of more than 45 students from The University of Texas at Austin will return to Alaska for the first time in three years as they pedal through 20 states throughout the U.S. and Canada. The group will pass through Stevens Point on July 5.

Roll The Stone Away, It’s Independence Day
Brent Wells | strava.com
What a wonderful ride with a great group of guys and 3 very strong women on this Independence Day!???????? I was able to ride on a few roads that were unfamiliar, but that I had done prior to my accident like the famed Stoneleigh Climb. ???? I did happen to have a front flat on a brand new tire on Hwy 27. However, that turned out to be a good experience as everyone gathered around to help me change it. When I got my spare tube out, we found that it also wouldn’t hold any air! That was no problem though, because Bob Haak had a spare tube that he gladly gave me. Darren Kruse was an absolute engine who pulled us several times. As always, I continue to be amazed at how much God has blessed me, and I once again thank Him for allowing me to return to this sport that I love, and for yet another great ride with wonderful men and women!????
