ME2SB

During the summer of 2014 I led a cross-country bike trip with Bike & Build called Maine to Santa Barbara (ME2SB). ME2SB started in Portland, Maine on June 17th and ended in Santa Barbara, California on August 30th, covering a total of 3,993 miles in 75 days. We had 14 build days and raised more than $160,000. You can see the map below and list of towns we biked and built in. Check out some of my old blog entries to read more about my first cross-country endeavor!

Here's a cool video one of our riders made about the trip:
