Just 10 days ago on August 15th, i was riding into the Nations Capitol building in DC on a bicycle after crossing the entire country. I along with fellow Elon classmate Bobby Hoppey led the group of over 100 cyclist down the mall and onto the Capitol lawn where we were greeted by over 2000 spectators including many peoples family and friends. I had so many mixed emotions about finishing the summer and ending such and incredible experience that I will certainly never forget. I wanted to blog and write about it during the summer but decided against it because I thought it would take up time I should be spending getting to know my teammates and making memories on this once in a lifetime experience. Now that I am home, and will be resuming classes soon and normal lifestyle, I feel it is a good time to write about my experience and document some of the highlights of the trip. Ultimately there is no way to verbalize such an experience. I believe it is one of those things one can only truly understand if they go through it. But nonetheless, I plan to share some photos and info about my amazing journey by bicycle across the country, the cause it was for, and the incredible sights I saw. As I am now home in North Carolina with ample free time on my hands I can write about the experience as I adjust to a much slower pace of life, and a life not on the Journey of Hope.
