Due to the beauty of social media I've had the privilege to explore the Instagram accounts, blogs, and pictures of past riders. Not only do we have some pretty talented photographers in this organization, but our riders have the incredible skill of capturing beautiful moments and emotions. Everything from the NYC skyline, family in Chicago, expansive fields in Iowa, South Dakota's never ending sky, the mountains of Colorado, Crater Lake, and the Golden Gate. Additionally, these riders captured the moments of friendships being formed, exhaustion setting in, appreciation for hosts, and respect for the stories they heard throughout the ride.Scrolling through these pictures and posts makes me feel so much for this journey!! I'm excited to start sharing my pictures that are unique to the journey of this 2016 team, and I am so ready to witness all the beautiful things this ride has to offer.
