The Inaugural Post


Welcome to my blog! Today marks the beginning of my training for my cross-country bike trip. I have signed up for unlimited Spinning classes until Penn's Spring Break (March 6). After doing a week of environmental cleanup in the Florida Everglades, I will begin road ride training with my new Giant Defy 2.

While this blog will be most heavily used during my trip, I will post some updates as the trip approaches. Please consider subscribing to this blog to stay up to date. As I am new to the blog scene, I welcome any suggestions you have that would improve this page.

In other news, I am starting my final semester at Penn Thursday and going to see our 44th President in DC on Tuesday. Exciting times!

Want to help out? Donate!

A huge part of this trip is raising funds! All proceeds of the trip will be used to fund student driven affordable housing projects across the nation. Here is where you come in: PLEASE support me and Bike & Build by making a tax-deductible contribution. To those of you that did donate, I thank you sincerely.

You could give a penny for every mile I ride this summer ($40). Considering the magnitude of the goal and the importance of our cause, anything you can give will be greatly appreciated. Help me help others!

If you do choose to give, all you have to do is go to http://www.bikeandbuild.org/donate.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call (773-633-3499) or email (kole.jon@gmail.com).
