Day 53: West Yellowstone, MT to Idaho Falls

For the past few days, I've been camping in Jackson and Yellowstone, so I haven't had any service or wifi. My phone had also been off due to the lack of electricity. I've been enjoying the great wonders of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. I am in awe of the beauty of this place....

Day 44: Laramie, WY to Saratoga, WY

Mileage: 79.1 milesToday was by far the most beautiful ride of this cross country trip so far. Although it would be easier to ride west to east because of the tailwind, today I realized that going east to west is more rewarding. Now that we are really getting into the Wild West, it's been getting more...

Day 43: Cheyenne, WY to Laramie, WY

Mileage: 42 milesSorry about the lack of blog posts lately. And the fact that they are all out of order. I am currently in Wyoming and cell phone service and wifi has been very spotty. I'll try to post photos and quick recaps of the days that I've missed. Day 43 was short, with one big climb into...

Day 34: Fourth of July in Arapahoe, NE

Day 40: Boulder, CO

Greetings from Colorado! We got to this beautiful state on day 36 from Benkelman, NE to Yuma, CO. Today was a rest day in Boulder, CO and it was a fantastic day. Boulder was one of the cities that I was most looking forward to visiting, especially since I had never been here before. Boulder seems like...

Day 32: Fairbury, NE to Franklin, NE

Day 32 was a century day (100 miles), but I had van duty with Chelsea. I was a bit bummed that I was missing out on a century day, especially since the weather was gorgeous. Chilly in the morning and high in the 70's. The last century we did was not so pleasant. I was in the food van, again, which...

Day 30: Omaha, NE to Lincoln, NE

Mileage: 50.5 My stay in Omaha, NE was my favorite on this trip so far. We had our first homestay and were hosted by a few families of a church community. The team was divided among the families to stay in their homes. It was the first time our group has split up since the beginning of the trip, so...

Day 31: Lincoln, NE to Fairbury, NE

Mileage: 70.03 miles Today seemed like a relatively short day. We had about 70 miles to ride, which seems short after having done over 100 miles. My riding group for the day was with Emily Lipsitz, Katie, and Helen. The farther out west we go, the simpler the route becomes. We basically stay on the...
