The Trek to Re-Energize America officially begins today. It’s been a long time coming and we’ve all spent far too many hours in front of the computer screen and too few on a bike. Nine riders from five states will be leaving Seattle this morning to visit D.C., collecting stories from Americans across the country about the need for a clean energy economy, transportation solutions, sustainable agriculture and more. We’ll be on the road for 70 days all told (and picking up another 50 riders before we arrive in D.C.) and we’d like to invite you to follow us as we ride. We just relaunched our site with a few new ways to keep track of us as we cross the country. Follow us on Facebook by becoming a fan of our page. (And thanks to the 450 of you who already have) We’d love to tweet in your ear, so follow us on Twitter if you like the Trek melody. We’re so hip, we’ll even be podcasting once or twice a week, so subscribe to our iTunes feed to listen in. And best of all, come out and see us in person as we ride through your community. We have riders leaving from all across the country, so check out our routes page to see if we’ll be coming near you and if so, drop us a line and say hi. Thanks for the support thus far and we look forward to keeping you posted as we turn heads, warm hearts and work for a better future.
Sincerely, the Trek Seattle crew,
Mindyi, JP, Sarah, Chris, Tim, Hannah, Emily, Jack, and Kate
