Cross Country Bike Trip
Donativo protegido
Over the course of the Summer (May, June, July, and August) I will be biking across and around the country.
From Sterling College, in Craftsbury, to the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming, where I will be running a 100 mile ultra marathon (June 19th and 20th), to either the Pacific ocean or to the South West deserts.
All funds will go towards tuition costs or costs of the trip, such as food, camping, or repairs/ replacement parts. Any help counts, $5 buys me a good lunch for a day. $20 pays for me to stay at a camp for a night (or maybe 2) rather than needing to worry about a good patch of woods to sleep in. $50 pays for most small bike repairs or replacing a blown worn out tire.
The route:
May 10th: depart from Sterling college. ->South to bennington area, ->west along NY20 all the way to Buffalo,-> South west along the shore of Lake Erie (Routes 5 and 20) all the way to Cleveland, -> West across Indiana and Illinois (Peoria, Illinois), -> North to Madison, Wisconsin, West across northen Iowa, southern South Dakota (throught the Badlands and Black Hills), Across to north-central Wyoming.
June 13th: Arrive in Big Horn Mountain National Forest
June 19th and 20th: Participate in the Big Horn mountain 100 Mile endurance run.
End of june and first weeks of July: Camp in yellowstone and the Tetons.
July and August: Bike around wherever I am inspired to go, until i end in Madison, Wisconsin at the end of August.
The trip will be for the culmination of my time at school and I will be taking a full course load of indepent work while on my bicycle trip. The Courses are as follows: Senior Project, studying Fostering a Connection to Landscape through Human Motion; A humanities independent study titled: An Active Aesthetic through which I will thoroughally document my trip through a creative and artistic lens; Trip planning and Logistics; and an Ecological and Human Use study of the tetons area in Wyoming.
