Angie Across America
Recently, a friend introduced Angie to me. Like any other Singaporean, Angie has a dream, and she wants to be the 1st Southeast Asian female to cycle 4,233 miles across America in 40 days in search of inspirational stories and America’s food hotspots.
Thought this would be an interesting Project, and here is a a Shout Out for her!
From June 7 through July 17, a girl from our home soil of Singapore will be the first Southeast Asian female to attempt to ride across America in under 40 days. In total, she will l ride over 100 miles each day, covering a total 4,233 miles from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Atlantic Ocean in the east.
What makes her ride epic is that not only will this journey be a test of her physical strength and mental will, she will be drawing out inspirational stories from people she encounters along the way. She will speak with various people in the towns she rides through, drawing out from their lives, stories of triumphs and defeats, love and pain, joy and struggles, aspirations conceived, dreams shattered and hope surfaced. By highlighting some of these incredible stories, Angie hopes to learn from their resilience to find strength to power her through the monumental adventure.
