Made It!

We Made It! We rolled into San Francisco on Saturday across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was the most unbelieveable way to finish the trip and it was so exciting to see everyone cheering for us. My mom surprised me by meeting me out there with my aunt. I also got to see two friends from school and a friend from home so that was awesome! We dipped our front tires into the pacific ocean and then went swimming even though it was really cold it didnt matter. For our lunch celebration we had chipotle burritos which was perfect. After lots of pictures and celebration we headed to the host in oakland to clean up before dinner. We had dinner in the park and then went out to celebrate. It was all bittersweet, since a handful of people had to leave that night. The next day we went out for breakfast and then it was time to say goodbye. It was really hard to say goodbye because it meant the end of an incredible summer. I could not think of a more amazing way to spend a summer and I am so glad that I got the chance to have this experience. I already miss everyone and hope that we will have a reunion soon! Thanks all for reading my blog, this is my last post!

Green River Utah

Tonight we are in Green River Utah, population 973. The nearest anything is about 60 miles away! The ride today was beautiful and almost completely downhill. Tomorrow we have a 4am wake up because we are going 90 plus miles in the hot desert to Capital Reef National Park. I am really excited because I hear it is going to be beautiful. Tomorrow we will also hit our 75% mark. I cannot believe that the summer is almost over and that I have to re enter the real world where eating 4 cliff bars a day and 2nd lunch are not normal. It is absolutely beautiful out here and each ride day seems to be the best at that time. I am uploading pictures to facebook so take a look if you have a facebook, but the pictures do not do the beauty of everything justice. I am definitely not ready for the summer to be over. I am having the best time of my life, enjoying every minute of the trip! Thanks for reading!

MOAB

Hey Everyone!
I am now in Moab UTAH! Yesterday was my second day off and was the most amazing day. I got up at 6am with 5 other riders and went skydiving at Skydive Moab! It was one of the most amazing things I have ever done and unlike anything else. We free fell for about 30 seconds and then pulled the chute and glided around over the canyons and evrything. The view was unbelievable and the free fall was crazy. After skydiving I went white water rafting. the rapids were really small but it was so much fun with all the bike and builders. We spent most of the time in the water. After rafting we returned to the church for a delicious dinner and then a group of us went out to Arches National park to watch the sunset behind delicate arch. Unfortunately it started raining then thundering and lightening. We still ran up to the arch in the pouring rain and peoples hair was literally sticking up cause of the lightening. Since the sunset thing didnt really work out a group of us decided to go back this morning for sunrise which meant a 3:30 am wake up. We sat on the edge of a sink hole and watched the sunrise. it was beautiful. Today was a build day, where we worked with community rebuilds building a haybale house, where the insulation is hay bales and there is adobe flooring. I have to sign off for now but thanks for reading. I am having an amazing time!
