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!

Final Day of the weekend and Positano!

The last day of the weekend we took a bus along the Amalfi Coast from Sorrento to the small town of Positano. For Stephanie and Alex this meant motion sickness and pure terror, respectively. The road was extremely narrow and it wound all over the cliffs. Also, if the bus driver happened to lose control we would be taking a several hundred foot fall into discomfort (I guess this validates Alex's fear). Personally, I don't know how these guide dozens of buses down this road everyday, it was pretty incredible. Anywho, the views as expected were amazing and the town of Positano was just as beautiful as Capri. My only regret was not getting a guided tour around this place, but we didn't have enough time to hang around very long since we had to go back to Florence.
