An Awesome Send-off

I think this speaks for itself:


A GINORMOUS Thank You to all of you! Your support means the world to us and we have been so moved by the number of people who have been touched by cancer and by how generous you all have been. Just really, really incredible.

Be well,

Arik and Mia

It's 2 am on Monday, so I guess we officially leave tomorrow! It's been a long, mostly sleepless couple of weeks. I took the bar exam Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of last week, took a day to veg, and we've been anxious to leave since then. We will land in Vancouver around 10:30 am on Tuesday, assemble our bikes in the luggage area, lug the bike boxes to the UPS about a mile away, and then bike about 5 more miles to our hotel in downtown Vancouver. We'll have 2 days to hang out in Vancouver and will start the journey south on the 7th. We are supa stoked but also freakin' out about leaving something crucial. Here's just about everything we're bringing, minus the laptop and our clothes:


Also yesterday we wrote the names of the people we ride for on our shirts. Hope you enjoy seeing your name or the names of your loved ones and friends. We're happy to have the company on our ride!






Be well,

Arik and Mia
