Fundraising Event at Eastern Mountain Sports


On Saturday, May 10th we were at Eastern Mountain Sports in Harvard Square, pedaling all day to get the word out. We met many really wonderful people, heard lots of cycling stories, and had the opportunity to hand out a bunch of literature about the ALA and the bike trip. Several EMS employees took half an hour of their break times and set up their bikes next to ours and show support. It was a fun day and we are really encouraged that a full day on the bike (at least on flat ground in a climate controlled area) is definitely do-able, without pain even! Thank you to everybody who stopped by. We are so grateful for your generosity and support!

We are now only 16 days away from getting in a van for the long trek out to Oregon and 20 days away turning around and cycling east again. We are getting very excited to get this long-anticipated journey underway.
