Crossing from Utah to Nevada has been quite the adventure! From buffalos to getting mildly lost in the desert to having the privilege of riding with BJ Almberg. With only a few weeks left the last few states have been filled with surprises!

Up and over!!! Fueled by majestic mountain views, adrenaline, and beans I think the Rockies got smaller with how much this team crushed these mountains 😮‍💨. From thin air, late nights, and some dang big hills Team Tahoe met each challenge with smiles and excitement. Stoked for the next leg of the journey 🤟.

The team crossed time zones today!! Nebraska has treated us well with beautiful views, adorable cows, exciting weather, and incredibly kind people. From thunder storms to rather large coffee pots, Nebraska has left a lasting impression on this 4k team!

Next post will contain runners!!

A tumultuous start to our journey through Nebraska

A tumultuous start to our journey through Nebraska!! A sudden storm rolled in on us forcing us to rack. Luckily, our amazing teammate Claire found a last minute host. She gave us warm showers, amazing stories about her incredibly impressive races and travels (this woman is literally superwoman), an adorable dog (honey) and cat (hope) to snuggle, and a delicious dinner. All in all it was a great day to ride a bike! (Some clips from Iowa as well :))

Received a warm welcome from Des Moines, IA!!! After a toasty 100 mile day of rolling hills, never before seen corn fields, surfing gravel, and water parks, the team rolled into the beautiful Valley Community Center to a chipotle spread. It was followed up by a delicious trip into town where the team got rolled ice cream and crumbl cookies as well as coffee from scooters!! Thank you so much to all who donated today, moments like these mean more than you know.

So incredibly proud of this beast of a team. You guys are the strongest people I know. Between the 25 mph head wind, the rain, and the distance, the mental and physical strength today took was pushing human limits. We achieved something amazing today as a team. I love you all.

Thank you Mary Ormond. For hosting us, for inviting us into your world, and for sharing your story. I think we all gained a new appreciation for the privilege of our journey. We may be rolling away, but the memory of your strength and your kindness will inspire us as we face the battles to come.

After a hot century ride, the team was surprised by Mary Ormond and family with welcome signs, fuzzy towels, and the most delicious fresh vegetables. We’ve only been here for a few hours and already been frog catching, chicken wrangling, got a tour of this incredible homestead, made ice cream, and got ice cream from Alice’s place. So excited for what the rest of this rest day brings!

So long Ohio 👋 The team made it to Indiana toda

So long Ohio 👋 The team made it to Indiana today and completed our first team century ride!!! Definitely had a blast rolling through the beautiful woods and fields of Ohio. Some highlights were exciting wildlife, new culinary creations, and a donated trailer stay! Huge thanks to all the business that donated food, coffee, and bike supplies to us along the way!

We are incredibly thankful to all of our hosts throughout Ohio including the East Liverpool Community resource center, the Emmanuel Lutheran church in New Philadelphia, and LA-Z acres campground in Nashport. Also want to give a special shout out to Justin, Mattie, Connie, and Rob for opening their homes to us and accommodating our muddy, smelly, chaotic group.
