Terrible day to ride today. We left Niagara Falls stayover this morning at 7.15am and we were told that the rest stops were gonna be at mile 25, 40, and 75. The plannedroute was gonna be 92.6 miles. When we started rolling out, it still wasn't that cold yet. But one hour in, the rain started to become heavier, and it got so cold. I was in the aame group with Angelica (AGAIN), Diego, Sean, and Brian. Despite the heavy rain, we were actually going at 14-16mph. We did 25 miles and stopped at a gift shop.
My fingers were frozen and hardened that I couldn't feel my fingers at all. The finger that was stung by the bee was even worse, it was turning black. I warmed myseld up using the hand dryer in the restroom. I couldn't even open my handle bar bag after 10 minutes of warming up. I stayed in the restroom for about an hour and was finally not shivering anymore. Then I went to Tim Hortons with Liz and Angelica and got a cup of dark chocolate, a nutella donut, a chocolate vanilla donut, and a blueberry muffin.
Then we went back to the gift shop, and continued drying myself. I got some buffalo wing nuts and hot cajun mix fron the shop. I was 6 cents short but the cashier said it's fine. I still ended up paying her tho just that it was 30 minutes later. The person in the gift shop was really generous though, she gave out so many bags to the team cause we needed those. There was a restaurant on the opposite of the gift shop. The lady from the gift shop gave us hot coffee but only Khrystyna and Lisa had it cause the rest of us had already went to get other food.
Westfield is 1 hour 15 minutes away from the first rest stop. Ben had to come to the church to unload the van first, then drive back to bring first group of people back, then finally one last round to fetch the remaining. The last group came in at about 9pm and we had pizzas for dinner, thanks to Zack and Hannah R.
Time to sleep! Forecast says that tomorrow will be a cold day again. Hopefully there'll at least be sun and no more rain. Hope the the clothes will be dry too so we could wear them again tomorrow.
4°C for a summer, totally ridiculous. :3 Let's all hope for a smoother journey! :)
Ps: Third day of not showering. :/ But we're grateful to have people being so nice to us, giving us shelters and didn't mind that we were dirty and all; also people who have been donating food to us for the past week. Everyone has been so nice to us. :') #thankful #goingstrong
This is a blog I made specifically to document the whole process of my first biking experience. I'll be riding from NYC to San Francisco, with a total mileage of approx. 4500 miles. The main aim of this ride is to collect portraits for American cancer experience, raise fund for cancer research and patient services, and spread awareness about cancer.

Day 9: Rochester to Niagara Falls, NY
Date: 5/30/2015
Time: 9.45am
Weather: Hot, sunny, super windy
Location: First Prebysterian Church, Niagara Falls
Today is our official riding day 7. Can't believe we have been riding for a week! Including today's ride of 88 miles, we have accumulated a total of 532 miles over the past week.
I slept at 12.30am last night and was awake since 4.30am but was too tired and only woke up at 4.45am. I was supposed to be up early cause I'm on van packing chore. I have to get my stuffs packed before everyone else. I woke up, cleaned myself, and packed my sleeping bag. I'm getting better at keeping sleeping bag d!
I was in the same group as Angelica and Khrystyna, just the three of us. We rolled out at about 6.20am and gotten the first 20 miles done pretty fast. First rest stop was at 7.40am, lunch was at 11.30am. The journey starting from after the first rest stop was terrible. The wind was going against us at 21mph. We were biking at only 7mph. My energy was totally drained and for the first time, I felt like I wasn't biking forward at all. The wind was coming from all directions and it almost got me off the road . The final 20 miles were the hardest. We were taking breaks almost every 4 miles. Ibwas pretty excited to be able to come to Niagara Falls again but I'm just so worn out that I didn't want to go anywhere else but to stay in the church and rest. Well we did go to TGIF to get food though. I got the brownie with ice cream, and shared potato skin with Lizzie. I also got myself a homemade lemonade cause I'm feeling a lil heaty already.
I put sunscreen on at every rest stop just like everyone else did. But today's sun was so hot that rash starts to build up on my thighs. I'm not even sure if it's cause of the sun, the sunscreen, or me not bathing for the second day already. I feel soooo sticky and dirty :/ I hope the rash will go off by its own though.
Today's ride was the hardest so far. Hills weren't that bad as compared to strong wind cause you know you'll be done with hills as soon as you reach the peaks. But this wind has never ended and was going against us at such fast speed the entire 88 miles. I have never felt so exhausted before, and have never felt like I want to give up before.
Day 7 of riding, everyone seems to be having serious cyclist issues already. I personally have numb fingers and toes, rash, and knee problems. Most people have the same problems too. Hopes everything goes okay before Colorado. :3
Have been up since 4.45am, started cycling at 6.20am, and finished riding at 4.30pm. That was 10 hours of working against the 21mph-wind though. 88 miles done. Tomorrow is gonna be a super long day again. That's gonna be a 90+ mile ride tomorrow. I just think that it's ridiculous that we did 60+ two days ago and only 20+ yesterday, but today they make us do 88 miles. I needed some consistency there though... If it's Wasn't cause of the wind, we will be going at 20 mph (the route is super flat today) and will be able to reach Niagara by 2pm.
Good night! Loves.

Day 8: Palmyra to Rochester, NY
Date: 5/29/2015
Time: 10.15pm
Weather: Hot and sunny
Location: Church of Love and Faith Rochester (lol I think I just made up the name haha)
Today is a short ride day but a long day. We did only 26 miles from Palmyra to Rochester. We could've got everything done by yesterday and have a full event day today though hmm. We had yogurt and pumpkin granola, I think, for breakfast this morning. This is like 80% better than oatmeal. Love those crunchy granola. <3
I rode with Diego and Angelica today, just the three of us. We were the first group to roll out, and we were going so fast. Our max speed was 24 mph, averaging at 15.5 mph. Ashley's group rode past us along the way cause Diego was trying to teach me to shift fown on a traffic light but failed. That was the time they rode past us. We then tried to go super fast to catch up with them. Lol. But along the way we stopped by CVS cause Diego wanted to get shades, and I grabbed Arizona too. We were actually just chilling and chatting on our way there until we saw Ashley's group at the trail. There was a reroute for the trail. Diego asked Angelica and I to follow him to take the reroute path , while Ashley's group took some other paths. Eventually we reached this stayover first yay! This is the first time I'm in the first group to arrive at stayover! #achievement
I really like to ride in a group with people who can push me to go beyond my limit. I like to go fast but I'm not that strong yet. I need (crazy or ADHD) people like Diego and Angelica to push me so I can get stronger and better. Thanks guys! #sincerelythanksOKAY <3
We rolled out at 7.20am and arrived at 9.30am. 25 miles in 1 hour and 10 minutes, that is a pretty good pace. As soon as other groups started to roll in, we had burrito for brunch (kudos to the Chipotle restaurant that donated burritos to us!) #thankful We chilled until 11am then we were divide into 2 groups. One group headed to American Cancer Society hope lodge, and another headed to Gilda's. We spent few hours there conducting portraits and all of us gathered at Damon Runyon Research Center in the University of Rochester campus.
I was in the hope lodge group, the people we talked to were all very optimistic and supportive. They love what we are doing. There was this couple that we conducted portrait with-the husband is having colon cancer. The couple has been married for 54 years, if I'm not mistaken, but they are still so sweet. When signing the consent form, the husband asked the wife to sign for him cause the form says "18 and below, you need a guardian to sign". Another thing the wife said was, " We are always friends, it's not easy to spend so much time with someone for so many years, yet you still have a lot to talk about everyday. The husband's reply to that was, "Yeah we are friends, just that I always talk, and she never listen. In other meaning, she's smart."
I love conducting portraits. If only I'm better at talking to people, I'd totally killin this role haha. The best thing about portraits is that you get to hear stories-funny, sad, inspiring, and meaningful ones. It brings all of us back to our emotional sides and reminds us of why we're doing this ride. We're not professional cyclists, getting sores, hurts, nunbs, everyday, yet we are killing it miles by miles, days by days. It's impressive to see how we've bike for 6 days, from Manhattan to Rochester, rolling into Niagara Falls tomorrow. Many have said that even by driving that would take me 3 days.
We had dinner at 6pm just now and we're pretty much free to explore the town after dinner. I followed the girls to do laundry at a shop 1 or 2 miles away from this church. Somehow there was this guy, Mike and his wife were there too doing laundry-the squirrel broke into his wardrobe and messed up eevrything. Mike said he saw us on highway 31 with the exact same jersey and wonder what we were doing. Sarah started explaining to him about us, and handed him our I4k card. He mentioned that he just lost his dad to cancer last January (if I remember correctly). I then talked to Mike about the Portraits Project and asked if he likes to share his story with us. He agreed but he thought it was gonna be a super serious one, so he said he'd like to talk to us tomorrow morning. Unfortunately we'll be out by 6am tomorrow and he said he will email us. Then I thought it'd be a waste if we didn't get a portrait from him. So I explained to him how the portrait works-just a short interview. Andrew called Ashley immediately and we had Sean there in 10 minutes. That was how we got another portrait in a laundry room! 14 portraits collected in 6 days! Kudos to team 2015! Isn't it amazing that he saw us on the highway earlier and saw us again in the city at night, and what the odds are that a squirrel broke into his wardrobe that he met us in the laundry room. This has been a really amazing journey.
Rochester has been a beautiful city with lots of stuffs to do. Mike recommended us a location, like a hospice center that his dad had treatment at. I figured that it'd be good if team 2016 get to visit that place since Mike mentioned that they would love to have us there.
Okay time to go to bed. Gotta be up by 4.30am tomorrow and get pumped up for Niagara Falls tomorrow! It's gonna be a long 86 mile ride tomorrow! Good night!
Much love.

Day 7: Syracuse to Palmyra, NY
Date: 5/28/2015
Time: 8pm
Weather: Chilly in the morning, super windy day, sunny towards the end of the ride
Location:Cross Creek Church Palmyra
Here I am blogging so early tonight. All of the groups were in by 3.00pm! :D
Short intro-it's gonna be the same everyday. Lizzie woke me up at 5.30am. I had her wake me up because I took an allergy pill for the bee sting to remove swell, and my phone was left charging very far away from me. Yesterday's stayover is so beautiful. It seriously looks like a hotel. Van packing was done by 6.30am, and everyone was done having breakfast by 6.45am. Today's breakfast is one of the fanciest breakfast I've had thus far. The chocolate muffin was soooooo good! #heaven

Today I have Sarah H., Lizzie, Emmy, and Carrie in my group.
It was so much fun riding with them! The first part of the journey wasn't that great because it was chilly and the wind was soooo strong. The moment I slowed down I felt like the wind was gonna blew me off. That took up so much of my energy. I remember there was one part of the hill that I was totally out of breath and I had to ask the team to slow down their pace for me. However the whole stretch of road after the lunch stop at mile 44 was flat and straight. We rolled out by 7.30am, and reached Cross Creek Church by 2.30pm, with average speed of 13mph.
The past few days were probably the first time I saw so many dead animals-squirrels, cats, deer, birds, and today a dead turtle. Earlier today we saw a turtle crossing the highway, this is probably the rarest thing I have seen haha.
I'm really glad to see how everyone is working so well as a team, waiting for teammates, stopping when necessary, and caring for each other. This bond has grown so much since the first day. We did have a whole semester of training together, but we didn't have much time to talk to each other. We'll just meet at the ARC for training, then everyone left right after training. I'm also super impressed by everyone's spirit, especially Lizzie cause she always has the mindset that "I can do it". I've never heard her saying, "I don't want to do this." She always gives her best shot and pushed through every hill. I feel like I've seen her grow so much since the first day she rode with me.
We went only 65 miles today. Pretty short as compared to day 2 and day 3's rides. Tomorrow we are rolling into Rochester, it's gonna be just 25 miles. Super short ride cause we're gonna have events in Rochester from afternoon till evening. The day after we're going to Niagara Falls! It's gonna be a 86-mile ride from Rochester to Niagara Falls, but I'm so excited about it! I always have a thing for Niagara Falls. :)
The swell on my finger is getting much better-I could at least bend my finger now. But the allergy pill was making me so drowsy that I've been yawning on my entire ride. The numbs and trembling is getting a little worse. Pain on quads and shoulder is bad too. Everyone has some problems, somehow. Haha feel like the whole team is made up of old people now.
Time to pack my stuffs and get ready to go to bed early. Gotta be up early tomorrow.
Loves.

Day 6: Little Falls to Syracuse, NY
Date: 5/27/2015
Time: 9.30pm
Weather: Cloudy, few drops of rain, sunny towards the end.
Location: St. Paul Cathedral Syracuse
We were up by 5.55am and got stuffs for van packing by 6.20am. After breakfasr, every group rolled up one by one. I had Ben, Andrew, and Emmy in my group today! We rolled out at around 7.20am.
It's nice to ride with this group of people because they are going so fast That it really pushed me a lot. The first 40 miles were mainly flat and nice roads and we were going at 20mph. The final 20 miles were not that fun-there were so many hills along the way. I was almost dying whi
le riding up those hills. We reached the first rest stop at 20 mile before 9am, lunch stop at mile 40 at 10.30am. That was the first time I was in the first group to arrive at the rest stop. ;D When we hit the 60 mile pit stop, the van was not even there yet. #achievement Thw final 20 miles, I was slowing so much cause I had to catch my breath while going uphill.
#storytime
While we were at mile 75, I was going too fast that I hit a bump and my handle bar bag was opened. My watch fell on the road and bounced into a drain. I thought I was so screwed if the drain is deep and full of dirty water. But when Emmy went to find it, she said the drain wasn't too deep. I ran there and saw my watch in there. This guy from a house right beside this road saw me and asked if I need help to get the watch out. I said yes and he brought me a hanger. That didnt work so they got something like a broom stick and put a nail to it. That served like a hook to get my watch out. Eventually we did manage to get it back, and Ben went to talk to them about we're doing. Guess what? The guy agreed to have a portrait! waited fo the van for like 15 minutes, andddd we got a portrait!! YAYYYY! Then we were ready to roll again for another 3 miles.
For the bee sting I got from 2 days ago, my finer is swelling so badly. We went by a pharmacy and the pharmacist asked me to take this diphenhydramine HCl pill before sleep tonight and use the anti-itch cream for the moment. Hope the swell goes away by tomorrow! It was so awkward that I couldn't straighten nor bend my finger now. The weirdest thing is I couldn't even hold on tight to my brakes while I was riding.
It was a great day, great ride instead. I like the fast-paced ride. And we got a portraits through this 'special' way. What an encounter :) Also the stayover (St Paul cathedral) is super fancy. It looks like a hotel :) Thanks to Emmy too, we got so much food donation-we get to have a lot of food for the rest of the day.
Day 6- Little Falls to Syracuse, 83 miles, 7.30am till 5.30pm. Done. 7 more days till rest day; 2 more days to Niagara Falls!
Off to bed soon! I bet the medicine is really taking effects now.
