The Wandering Project
THE Wandering Project
On May 29, 2016, it was my intent to cycle across America with my friend Kristy Massey, however that all changed on May 24th, 2016 when I was hit by a truck on my last training ride before the trip. With a broken neck, shattered pelvis, TBI, and many other broken bones and injuries I worked my way back up to riding again. I am truly God’s miracle! Read my story in the “About Me” tab. Now 5 years later I am replanning the Coast to Coast trip with great excitement. On May 24, 2021 I will embark on a 10 week journey that will take us from Yorktown, VA to Florence, OR.(**We changed our route to end in San Francisco due to making sure I would finished in time to be home by Aug 4) We will be covering 10 different states and logging around 4200 miles. I will be joined by Jocelynn Samuel as our SAG (support and gear) driver. Jocelynn is completing her associates degree in May. The two of us are so excited to get this journey started.
