Bike and Build

The summer of 2010, I rode my bike across the country with 30 of the most awesome people in the world with Bike and Build.  We raised around $150,000 for affordable housing in our group CENTRAL US 2010, of which we donated ~60%, and built with Habitat for Humanity all across the country.  It was such an amazing experience, that I refrain from trying to put into words or capture with the pictures that I took along the way.

Thanks again to those who donated to the trip, to those who helped us along the way with food and housing, and to those who inspire others not only for one summer, but day in and day out dedicating their lives to supplying adequate and affordable housing to those in need.

Shoot me an email (andy at andyreagan dot com) if you have any questions about the trip, Bike and Build, or anything at all!! Below is the map, and my posts for the whole trip, and my donors.
