Shooting some final drone footage of #haRVey before we peel off the graphics and close another chapter. #RVlife #cycling

#tbt to day 3 of many. Had the awesome privilege of being escorted north by riders from @bikeeffect. Great ride up that coast that day eventually ending in Santa Barbara. #throwbackthursday #rideacrossamerica #cycling

#tbt to 10 miles to go. Image repost from @derrick_j_lewis. He and his @raphacycleclub crew did an awesome job of dragging me across the finish line. I remember being very emotional at this point and bit lightheaded because of riding 50+ miles that day without food. #cycling #throwbackthursday #rapha #africa #rutf #helpstopsam

I'm committed to get the Cycle Cause story book done. Writing this morning from the new @portolacoffeelab location in Tustin (at The District). Go check it out! #cycling #coffeedoping (at Union Market Tustin)

Love riding to this special spot. So proud to call @portolacoffeelab a sponsor. Did you know they were named Roast magazine’s 2015 Micro Roaster of the Year!? And to think I got to drink this amazing brew every morning in the RV before heading out. Talk about feeling privileged! #cycling #coffee #sponsors #moots #nothingbutloveforportola

Remembering to breath deeply, an important skill when faced with the big climbs. #cycling #lifelessons #tbt #throwbackthursday #wyoming #tetons

#throwback to when #HaRVey got it's identity. Photo of our great sponsor @thedotcorp wrapping the Winnebago. This will likely be un-wrapped very soon. #cycling #cause #stopsam

Less than 24 hours to get your tax deduction for 2014. Just $50 saves a life and 100% of all donations go to provide life saving packets of RUTF - this is why I rode across America and my family sacrificed so much, to help those who need our help. CycleCause.com/Donate

Just One More Ride

Just one more ride to finish the year.  92 miles today and the completion of my Rapha Festive 500.  Just one more ride of a 6000 plus mile year. Most miles spent on the back roads of America.  Just one more ride to suffer and push my 38 year old body to it's limits.  Just one more ride, fitting that it ends in the dark with two hours of freezing rain and howling wind.  Just one more ride to remind me of the hard days on our trip. When I got lost in the woods of Oregon or the day I quit in South Dokata.  Just one more ride spent hoping that more malnurished kids will get the treatment they need. Just one more ride. Coming back to a warm house, a meal and the family I love so much. Just one more ride to say goodbye to 2014 and welcome what comes next whatever that is.

Bottom bracket on the #moots started to squeak so I stopped by to see my friends @aroadbike4u on today's #festive500 ride. They laughed as it came apart and water spilled out. Thanks guys for getting back on the road. #cycling #foundtheproblem #hardmiles #hardlivin #waterboy

Fun ride with the crew from @bikeeffect. This was the last time I saw @mannyfresh2def @damonfit on the climb. #cycling #festive500

[cyclecauseride]

Hope to see you all @bikeeffect on Sunday for a celebration ride. Join us as we lay down some miles for the #festive500

[cyclecauseride]

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you for all the amazing support and love this year and helping us #stopsam.

A balmy 70 degrees...in December. This is why we live in Cali. #cycling #festive500 #outsideisfree #westcoastisthebestcoast

40 miles into my first day of #festive500, had to refuel @bikereligion in Dana Point. #cycling #holidaymiles

Yesterday's train ride reminded me of one of the toughest sections from the ride across the US. This 50s style train car diner off I-90. It's right next to where they filmed Dances With Wolves. The headwind that was like nothing I've ever seen before or since, 25mph wind for 10 hours. #cycling #southdakota #misery
