A collection of videos highlighting the moments that connect us.
"For me, the bike ride is a moving meditation. On the one hand you can kind of day dream, but on the other hand, you’re focused, moment by moment. You get better acquainted with yourself, flaws and all, but you can also forget about yourself in the letting go of things.”
As we pursue our aspirations in life, it’s normal to experience highs and lows throughout the journey. In this video 2023 Odyssey rider Anne Thompson shares how cycling has connected her with the current of life, discovering how to live every moment with love, compassion, and a deeper appreciation for the world around her.

Training for a fitness competition and half marathon, SaraMae developed severe low back and hip pain which sent her to the ER. Mis-diagnosed with sciatica, she suffered from full organ systems failure and wasn’t expected to live. “Then a doctor came and said we're going to have to amputate both your legs below the knees", said SaraMae.
Whether you or someone you care about has been through trauma or not, everyone can use a story like this to add light and hope to our world.
Amongst the lush, mountainous landscape of central and northern Greece, 2023 Odyssey riders Kristen and Katie share how cycle-touring exposes new ways of thinking, promotes mental and physical growth, and welcomes a sense of fascination and freedom.
