happy birthday, susy!

thanks for hosting us for lunch, and keep kicking cancer butt!

everyone wants to be a 4k'er

our incentive for biking to benkelman, NE faster: free milk shakes and pizza from striker's

showing off our route

at the fundraiser fair that striker's arranged for us. riders collected tickets and manned different game booths.

many thanks to chris and the kids of benkelman for fundraising for us!

sometimes, tensions on the 4k can get a little ugly...

some of the kids we met at the carnival wanted to bike with us to yuma, CO

we love you, chris!

lauren deserved a reward for climbing 17 miles. so i picked her a weed.

on our day off in boulder, some of us played a short game of hide-and-go-seek
