What Bike and Build is all about...

Bike and Build is a non-profit organization that raises money and awareness for the affordable housing crisis through the arrangement of cross-country biking trips. The organization primarily engages college students ages 18-25 on 8 different routes. Specifically, Bike and Build attempts to engage young adults in a life-long commitment to service and philanthropy by providing participants with a very intimate approach to the affordable housing crisis. For more information about the organization, check out their website at www.bikeandbuild.org.

Also, a very big thank you to everyone who donated to the cause. Each rider is required to raise a minimum of $4,000 and my current total is $6,770! Thank you again for your support!

June 15th


First day of riding. I was assigned to ride sweep with our route leader Paige. Essentially, sweep is made up of two riders who have to stay in the back of the pack to ensure that no one gets left behind. The first day was rather frustrating because we had to stop so much at all the stop lights in Providence. We did have a nice picture opportunity at the Connecticut state capital. Which I have attached to this post.
