Starting today, on 10/10/2020, I will bike 8.5 miles a day for 20 days straight, as part of Nola to Angola& #39;s annual fundraiser for the Cornerstone Builders Bus Project. Cornerstone provides free transportation to families visiting loved ones incarcerated in Louisiana. #n2a2020
For every day that I bike, I hope my followers here will donate (at least) a combined $50 dollars. This would be (at least!) $1,000 for Cornerstone, which is huge. You can track my progress and give directly at: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jarrett-drake">https://www.justgiving.com/fundraisi... #n2a2020
First day done! Today& #39;s schedule hit several snags but the ride went on nonetheless. Biked a bit up and down hill, through the rain, and in the dark. So thankful that @karibe88 joined and we did it together!
Day Two. 9.33 miles, with a great view of Cayuga Lake. #n2a2020
Day 3 of 20
Day 4!
Day 5 of NOLA to Angola. One quarter of the way there.
Late to post, but here& #39;s the receipts for Day 6
Day 7 of 20 #n2a2020
Also, Nola to Angola increased its goal, so I& #39;m increasing mine! The stretch goal is now $1,500. We& #39;re already close to the halfway point. I have 13 rides left to get to $801. $61.61 per day would do it. Can you help keep families connected in Louisiana? https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jarrett-drake">https://www.justgiving.com/fundraisi...
Day 8 of 20, NOLA to Angola #n2a2020
Day 9 was rough, but it is done!
Day 10 of 20, just at the halfway point! The link to donate is a few tweets up, mad love to everyone who has given or wanted to!
Day 11/20. This was our fastest average speed yet! I feel like someone should donate just based on that fact alone?
Day 12, before the downpour #n2a2020
Day 13 of #n2a2020 is in the books. One full week left. Again the link to donate is here https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jarrett-drake">https://www.justgiving.com/fundraisi...
Day 14 was probably the most pleasant so far. Also was our fastest, despite a mean headwind. Infinite love to @karibe88 for being on this journey with me!
Day 15 was the hardest but @karibe88 willed us home https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😘" title="Kusshand zuwerfendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Kusshand zuwerfendes Gesicht">

They need a butt emoji for this wagon I& #39;m dragging
Now just one day left! My ass is on fire! #n2a2020
Day 20 of 20, done! The mileage for today was only four miles, but that& #39;s because me and @karibe88 had already biked extra along the way. We finished with 170.10 miles, so multiply that by two, and we biked 340.20. See more at the donation link #n2a2020 https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jarrett-drake">https://www.justgiving.com/fundraisi...
Another reason we had to cut today& #39;s ride short is to get me to the airport so I can head my toenails towards Louisiana. As soon as I get there imma log on zoom for the virtual launch of a book I contributed to https://www.arch.columbia.edu/events/1989-paths-to-prison-on-the-architectures-of-carcerality">https://www.arch.columbia.edu/events/19...
So to conclude this thread, mad love to everyone who contributed to this important fundraiser. Whenever I think I can& #39;t love @karibe88 anymore than I already do, I am proven wrong. I wouldn& #39;t have been able to do this without her.
