Welcome

Hey everyone welcome to my blog I am gonna do my best to update this as much as I can to begin I am really excited about this trip not only would biking across the North American continent be amazing by it self but this is an opportunity to do that and so much more. As a group/soon to be pseudo extended family we have the opportunity here to do something really incredible aside from the having an amazing time ourselves we are going to have a chance to help a lot of people and do a lot of good on the way helping a lot of people in need. This ride is to raise awareness for affordable housing. The goal for the ride is for every rider to raise $4,000 for the cause and as I was just accepted 2 days ago I am at 100 bucks in and every dollar counts so please donate! As far as the training goes I don't have a bike yet and it was 20deg today so riding a bike outside is a tad on the cold side still but I have been running when I have time. I will be sending out flyer's over winter break to everyone and if you didn't get one and you are reading this its probably because I know you so well you really don't need one and I have already talked your ear off about this trip! So this number will hopefully be going up soon thanks to everyones generosity! Anyways for everyones information my email address is grantdj@umich.edu if you want/need anything from me I hope this blog can be a way to keep everyone updated and involved in this amazing adventure!
