Wanderlust

It has been in the back of my mind for months now that I needed to get my act together and write something about the Spoke N’ Heart Collective. Now, mere hours from the beginning of our next adventure, I am finally finding the time.

This afternoon, I’m flying to Eugene, Oregon for a Bicycle Leadership Training – the first project of the Spoke N’ Heart Collective. The collective is a group of female-identified people from around the country who have come together to explore the radical, transformative power of biking for social change.

For the next two weeks, I will be riding down the Oregon and California coasts with 8 other amazing people. Along the way, we will be sharing our knowledge, skills, and experience, learning how to handle the dynamics and logistics of long-distance bike trips.

When all is said and done, the collective members will be equipped to organize bike rides in our communities about the issues that matter to us.

This training will be an experiment and an adventure, and I will write about my thoughts, feelings, and experiences here over the course of the trip.

We will also be group blogging (hooray!) at www.spokenheartcollective.org, so make sure you bookmark that page or grab our RSS feed.

Now, its on to the plane!
