My dad and I set off just an hour later than planned for day one of our annual ride to our family reunion. I’ve had Covid for a little over a week and tested negative for the first time this morning and today was a lot more tiring than expected (my whoop recommends 12 hours in bed tonight). Although every muscle in my body is in it’s feels, I had a lot of fun making the short but hilly trek down to the pigeon point lighthouse, aided by artichoke bread, loads of gummies, and ample rest time. The weather gods were on our side and it was gorgeous in the redwoods and on the coast. I’m looking forward to days 2-7! I took my first shot at editing so if you want to see a little recap, I attached the video here and I’m posting updates on my instagram @anikaraffle
Somehow, every year we have managed to make the ride 50 miles longer than the year before so this year we’re riding 350+ miles to fundraise for Rise Toegther Education and help fund low income and first generation Paly students’ college educations! We’re super close to reaching our $7,000 goal so thank you to everyone who has donated so far!
