Riding with Courage

Today is the first day of Josh Courage's month long trek across the United States. ON A BIKE. Josh has been a great friend and training partner for the past 3 years and to say the man has a big heart is an understatement. In an effort to raise awareness for the Children's Miracle Network, he is going to ride roughly 3700 miles in 30 days, stopping where he has local connections, where there are CrossFit boxes, and at pre-designated campsites to rest and re-fuel. I've known Josh through more than a few of these creative physical endeavors, all benefiting some cause bigger than himself, but this is by far the most impressive. I've told him many times how much I wished I was in the States to take part in this amazing adventure, but alas this is the most I can contribute. If any of you are along his route and have the time, please get out and support him. He'll be the one dripping in sweat and towing a mini bike trailer filled with camping gear.
As for me, I'm packing up my life and getting on a bus tomorrow for Oxford. Close the book on Paris, baby. See you all in the UK.
