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!

My first driving day as a leader!

Driving the trailer and van for the first time was stressful, but I had great company with Justine and Adrienne riding with me due to injury. We parked the trailer at the top of the climb (which happened to be the Continental Divide!) and proceeded back down the mountain to check on the riders' progress. I think my favorite part of the whole set up is pumping techno and screaming everyone on as they climb 1,200 feet of switchbacks.
