the snowmelt: Let the training begin!

Let the training begin!

With this week being the official start to my training, I have gotten my hands on a pretty good training program. This is def going to kick my ass but when I'm at the top of North America looking down on my accomplishment I'm sure all the hard work will be worth it..... unless a storm moves in and -50 degree wind and snow bury us in the tent till we run out of food and shut down our bid for the summit...... then I might be pissed! Lets just pray mother nature will be on our side.

The Snowmelt - Roadmelt Bicycle Expedition 2012

This year we have decided to take on a bicycle expedition like no other. Keeping in the spirit of The Snowmelt, this expedition will partly focus on an environmental issue that affects us all. This summer our journey will take us from the coast of Southern California along the waterways, north to the source of California’s water. Over approximately eight days we will cycle 500 miles to San Francisco and then east to the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. This expedition will be accompanied by a civil engineer, biochemist, nationally ranked cyclists, and The Snowmelt founder and leader of the 2011 Denali expedition. The goal will be to film this expedition in order to create a documentary that will relay both an environmental message focusing on sustainability and our impact from the overuse of water. The film will also document the journey and emotions of riding a bicycle 500 miles through sometimes desolate and remote areas of California
