OVERVIEW

3,094 miles, 91 days, 13 states, 21 communities, 4 bicyclists, 1 support car driver, and 45 solutions to the climate crisis. We biked from Portland, Oregon to Washington, D.C., traveling 50-75 miles per day. Then, we took a train and bus to Miami and flew over the Gulf of Mexico to Cancun for the United Nations Climate Change Conference. Our original plan was to sail across the Gulf of Mexico, but due to technical difficulties, that was not possible.
