It's 6am and I can't sleep. This is for the early mornings and the milkless breakfasts. This is for the longest rides and the shortest days. The roadside naps and the peanut butter lunches with my best friends. The tallest mountain passes and the lowest valleys. This is for the build site moms and tears of thanks. This is for the simple goodness of a complete stranger. This is for head winds and this is for the hardest days. This is for canyons and switchbacks and the Wild West. This is for 4000 miles and time well spent. The blink of an eye and two oceans across. #SUS2015 #bikeandbuild @bikeandbuild (at Monterey, California)

Tomorrow we hit the Pacific. #SUS2015 #bikeandbuild @bikeandbuild
