Please add your photos directly to the website by following these simple directions:

  1. Resize the photos so that they are smaller and quicker to load. We recommend that you resize all the photos so that they are 432px × 287px.
  2. If you have one or two photos, you don't need to zip the files. However, if you have a handful of photos to upload, please zip all the photos so that they are in one package/file to make uploading easier.
  3. Login on the website and you can upload directly to the website by clicking on this link
  4. Click on the blue arrow and select the zip file and hit upload.

We had a wonderful pilgrimage again! We had a record-breaking 130 pilgrims this year with 31 volunteers and 99 riders, and the lowest number of no-shows ever!

Hope everyone had a safe and pleasant trip back home and rested well. I am writing on behalf of the Dharmawheels organization to thank you for participating in this year's Buddhist Bicycle Pilgrimage--either as a rider traversing the 140-mile route one pedal stroke at a time, or a tireless volunteer that supported and made the journey possible. I hope the weekend has offered you some opportunities to reflect, to practice patience and mindfulness in the burning heat, to meet new and old friends, and be a part of a wonderful community. I was able to pitch in and do a small part in helping to organize the event and also rode my bike, and I am extremely grateful not only for being able to share the roads on my bike with you but also the opportunity to serve you as a volunteer for planning the event.
