ICYMI: It took this group of college students 79 days to bike from NYC➡️San Francisco raising funds and awareness for Damon Runyon and cancer research. We're so proud of the @illini4000 team and appreciate the relationship we have built with them over the years.

The @illini4000 did it! From New York City to San Francisco. 4000 miles, 2 wheels, 1 cause. To raise funds for brave and bold cancer research.

Day 79: 42 miles fro Petaluma, CA to San Francisco, CA. 4000 miles, 2 wheels, 1 cause. #i4k #2019bikeamericateam #idefeetcancer

Day 76: 67 miles from Willits, CA to Healdsburg, CA. Sped through the wineries along US-101 today, had some wonderful Mexican food courtesy of Marc’s parents, and finished off with some delicious ice cream! #i4k #2019bikeamericateam #idefeetcancer

Day 76: 91 miles from Humboldt Redwoods State Park, CA to Willits, CA. US-101 was, uh, fun and did quite some damage to the number of tubes we have left. #i4k #2019bikeamericateam

Day 73: 85 miles from Crescent City, CA to Eureka, CA. A quite foggy ride though the magnificent redwood forests. All 17 of us could’ve fit into one tree trunk! #i4k #2019bikeamericateam

Day 72: 0 miles from Crescent City, CA to Crescent City, CA. Surfed, walked the beach, and ate seafood, the typical California life. #i4k #2019bikeamericateam

Day 71: 80 miles driving from Grant Pass, OR to Crescent City, CA. Another day of shuttling, this time due to the Milepost 97 fire north of Grant Pass. But crossed our last state sign and reached the coast! #i4k #2019bikeamericateam

Day 70: 0 miles from Grant Pass, OR to Grant Pass, OR. Spent the unexpected off day between In-N-Out, bookstores, and a delayed Christmas in July party. #i4k #2019bikeamericateam
