The bike challenge is sort of a modern day Lewis and Clark. And I get to spend a few more months with my buds from college.

The challenge is not only to raise money, but to raise awareness and help smaller communities start a Habitat for Humanity chapter.

It's not an easy place to play and win. It has to be controlled. The only challenge we could have as a coaching staff is that the players are too high.

It's something I really wanted to have a run at. So far, it's gone well. I'm just enjoying that challenge, and hopefully over the next eight months or so I can get myself in a position to be a legitimate contender for that spot in the World Cup.

I'm hoping it has been fatigue. When we challenge him, he's done a great job.

The bike ride is an adventure I could only take while I'm in college. And it's my last summer to do something like this.
