What's your favorite memory from the bike trip?

Jaime Mishkin
It's so hard to pick one, but running to the Pacific has to top them all. It wasn't so easy, though; when we got to the sand with our heavy heavy, 80 pound bikes, it wasn't an easy sprint to the ocean. Pushing our bikes through the sand took all the strength we had. Definitely the toughest moment, and the most comical.

Another memory that comes to mind is when we randomly went white water rafting in NM. After an epic ride down the side of a mountain, we took a rest at a small market. We started talking to a man who led white water rafting trips at a nearby river. Offhandedly, we asked if they offered discounts for cross-country cyclists. He offered to squeeze us in his next ride for free! While it began as a sunny journey, it began to down-pour midway through the trip. It was hilarious and kind of scary. We were once again wondering how we ended up in this situation.
