The Final Countdown

We're down to the final stretch and WE NEED YOUR HELP!  Even $5, $10, and $20 donations are incredibly helpful.  Many of those donations are steadily moving us along our way to our $9,000 donation goal and beyond!

35 days (and counting!). $3800. 300 training miles. This is all that remains leading up to our ride this summer!  That means each week from now through early June, the two of us will be raising over $1000, riding over 100 miles, and learning as much as we can about affordable housing.

Please donate if you can and spread the word to whoever will listen.  Thanks to your support, we are making this amazing commitment a reality in just over a month!

Now is the time to join the cause and donate!

Biking and Eating

It's snowing now, but we have had some beautiful days for training and have taken full advantage.  Denver is an amazing place for biking, and we have been frequenting the Cherry Creek and Platte River Trails.  As excited as we are about supporting the affordable housing cause and riding our bikes, we are pumped to EAT along the way.  Most of our rides include at least one food stop, as we thankfully replenish calories put to good use!
