We made it to Durango! One day ahead of schedule. Lots of rain on the final push, but we are stoked and so happy to be here.

I will be posting a lot more about our trip in the days to come, but first I'm going to eat my weight in tacos.

Much love all!

The Colorado Trail bike trip moves on! Day 5 and we have made it to Leadville. Some hard miles but some descents that have left Elliot Baglini and I laughing almost to tears.

We have felt so honored by all the support we have received, not only for ourselves, but especially for our fundraising effort for Outdoor Afro. We cannot thank everyone enough. We have been challenged to raise our bikes on top of mountain passes, take pictures of flowers, bike naked, and call our mothers. We've accomplished a few of these so far and here are some pictures to prove it.

If you have any more pledges for us, we will be back in service again tomorrow and will check one last time before our longest stretch to get to Silverton. From there it will only be a few more days until the end!

The hardest part is still in front of us, but we both feel invigorated and motivated to keep moving forward.

If you feel called to donate to the fundraiser to help bring people of color outside, please do so here https://www.gofundme.com/f/elliot-and-dan039s-bike-ride-to-support-outdoor-afro?sharetype=teams&member=4942730&pc=fb_co_campmgmtbnr_w&rcid=r01-159408065094-5354ddc0626d4ba3&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_lico%2Bbanner .

Thank you again everyone for all of your support!

Since Covid-19 put a hold on the first year of Alliance Adventures trips, one of the co-founders, Dan Enright, has decided that this was the perfect year to attempt to bikepack the entire 540 miles of the Colorado Trail.

This is sure to be a challenge in many ways and also a great learning experience. But it also is a great privilege to be able to take 2 weeks away and use thousands of dollars of gear to travel across the state, a privilege that many of our fellow Americans don't have.

Alliance Adventures was founded in the belief that bikes can help bring people together as well as take us to new places. But we recognize that it is a sport that is dominated largely by white people. In a small effort to raise awareness of the issue of lack of access to the outdoors by communities of color, Dan and his riding partner, Elliot Baglini, have organized a small fundraiser for , a nonprofit dedicated to getting POC outside.

Friends and family have already donated and made pledges for them to complete challenges like holding their bikes above their heads on mountain passes, jumping into freezing alpine lakes, and calling their moms on the trail. Feel free to share any challenge pledges you might have!

This is clearly not the complete answer, and so much more needs to be done to provide more equitable access to the outdoors for everyone. But if you feel called by this cause and wish to support it, please consider donating here. https://www.gofundme.com/f/elliot-and-dan039s-bike-ride-to-support-outdoor-afro?sharetype=teams&member=4942730&pc=fb_co_campmgmtbnr_w&rcid=r01-159408065094-5354ddc0626d4ba3&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_lico%2Bbanner

The biking of Guatemala really is something special, filled with fun and flowy descents, soft and loamy dirt and locals with a passion for developing the sport in their country. But there are also times where all the elements just come together: beautiful scenery, unique riding and a culture that is uniquely Guatemalan like here on the La Culebra trail. The whole ride overlooks the stunning Lake Atitlan, lined with volcanoes and finishes through the staircase streets of Santa Catarina. Truly a staff favorite!

Join us on this trail and the many other fun rides, beautiful scenery and amazing culture at www.allianceadventures.com/ride-guatemala-friends-family
