As any Bike & Builder knows, sidewalk chalk is just as important as a well tuned bicycle and chamois cream when you are on the road. Though we had cue sheets for each ride day, we would use chalk to mark turns, reroute riders if there is a change in the cue sheet (BBRRWAWA- that's for any B2SB'10ers who may read this), and also leave messages to fellow riders to help keep them going on the long ride. In a way to truly show our appreciation and love for Christina Genco, the Bike & Build rider from SC2SC'11 that passed away while on the road this summer, the Bike & Build community came together and created a memorial in the best way we know how: sidewalk chalk drawings. Not only did members from other trips that are currently on the road chalk for Christina, but Bike & Build alumni from all around the world also participated. We are truly a family, and we share our love from different parts of this wonderful world. I'm posting a link to the facebook page that has the photos of the chalk drawings done for Christina, because I think it is a great way to remember an incredible person. Christina shall live on in the lives of all those who she touched during her time on this Earth, and all of Bike & Build shall ride on for her. B&B lives loves rides for Christina.
