we made it. i’m sitting cozy in a hotel room in anchorage, internetting it up, still in disbelief. still letting it sink in and trying to soak up as much of the summer as i can…i return to austin on the 13th and then reality shows its ugly head.

i have a slew of pictures to put up, complete with informational asides, as i’ve neglected posting due to the fact that we’ve just emerged from the middle of nowhere…but that will have to wait until tomorrow. for now, i’d like to that everyone that made this trip a reality for me. i’m in total awe of the support system i have urging me to attempt what others might label impossible. i needed people to believe in me and they did. dear family and friends, thank you. i send my love across these thousands of miles.

and to my team, i couldn’t have asked for more strength, courage, or compassion. i wouldn’t be here without you, i wouldn’t want to be. we did this together, it is a summer we will never forget.

i’m in anchorage…and i rode my bike here
