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!

Weekend trip to the Amalfi Coast

This past weekend I took a short sojourn with my Bentley peeps to the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, and the Island of Capri in Southern Italy. The first day we got there I went to Pompeii since the weather was cooler and overcast. It was a nice experience overall, but I have to say without a tour guide all of the ruins begin looking like a pile of rocks after 3 hours or so. The coolest part of the adventure was definitely seeing some of the mummies in the houses. One of the guys (see below) looked like he was having an absolutely miserable day after Mount Vesuvius exploded. Then again I would probably be in a bad mood if I was getting covered in 3 meters of burning ash. Oh well, next time hire Pierce Brosnan from Dante's Peak to check out the volcano before you set up shop right next to it. Here are some pictures from the this part of the trip.
