Short but sweet ride on the last warm-ish day for the foreseeable future. #veganbikerdudes

Man, it’s been a week now. Life doesn’t feel the same at all. We had an absolute blast riding over those three days. I’m guessing that we could do it in 2 days now that we know what’s ahead of us. We met some really helpful people, including a hunter near Biscoe, AR, who told us a great spot to camp the first night. We rode by a lot of fields. We battled the wind.

We’d love to make this ride to Memphis a yearly thing. It’s our hope that we can eventually amass a crowd big enough to block the entire lane of traffic. Wouldn’t that be rad? Until then we’re tentatively planning a ride in the spring around April or May. That’ll probably be the next time we get great/consistent weather. We’re thinking either Fayetteville or Nashville. There’s an elephant sanctuary near Nashville that would be super rad to visit and maybe even ride in support of. Until then, we’ll keep you up to date on all of our short rides and hopefully do some really fun/silly riding in the winter. Here’s a few non-iphone shots from the trip, you can see the rest of them at flickr.

And guys, last but not least, we raised $805 for Our House. That’s absolutely incredible. You outdid yourselves and we appreciate it beyond measure. Thank you for helping us make this such a success!

Another #arfall bike ride. #veganbikerdudes

This is how I ride @bennygold. #veganbikerdudes

Guys and gals the official donation numbers are in…we hit $805! We set a goal for $1,000 not really knowing what to expect and we couldn’t be happier with the total we’ve raised for Our House. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We’re blown away by your generosity. Remember to keep supporting initiatives like Our House in your own community (if you’re not a part of the central AR community). These programs are so important and vital to our society. Without places like Our House there would be a vastly larger number of people without hope. Thank you.

We’re eating so good in Memphis! Tofu vegan sausage scramble at Brother Juniper’s. Check this place out!

If you’re following this blog I assume you already know that we made it. It’s been a chill afternoon filled with food, naps and beers. I, Don, always crave a few beers after a long ride. Dinner plans are scheduled for the Fuel Cafe. I’m pretty stoked to check this place out. We really appreciate your support and following along with us. Hopefully we won’t let this media channel die and we’ll be riding again soon! Thanks everyone!
