Biking from Austin TX to Anchorage Alaska!

Why am I doing it?
My freshman year I was partnered with a girl from one of my orgs to go for a walk. It was the first time I had met her, and within the first 10 minutes of our conversation, I knew she had to be one of the coolest people I had met. She had told me about how she is currently training for a cancer charity bike ride from Austin TX to Anchorage Alaska. The whole point of the ride is to spread awareness about cancer research, hope to individuals/ families effected by cancer and raise money for those effected by cancer. After she told me what Texas 4000 was – I immediately fell in love. I spent hours looking at the profile of different riders, reading their stories on why they ride and who they are. It amazed me that people of all different backgrounds where coming together to do something that most would call crazy, but something so big and so great. I immediately told everyone I knew how incredible this thing was. So when it came time for it I applied… but I did not get in. I told myself though that I would not leave college until I do this. From freshman year to junior year I spent time reading peoples profiles and talking to riders- falling in love with the organization even more.

I then used the existing Polk protected bike lanes to easily glide through #EaDoHouston. Are there plans to close the unprotected/unpainted gap between Emancipation and St Emanuel? 7/ pic.twitter.com/pNIOUEdVsS

Children got the chance to learn how to properly handle bikes and learn safety tips during the Bike Rodeo for Kids at the North Texas Fairgrounds on Sunday.
