We are not going to Alaska

I know, we told you all that we were going to do Alaska this year. We were, but then Mike's house has not sold and diesel gas prices are skyrocketing to $4 a gallon. This all makes for a very expensive trip. I don't think gas will get cheaper any time soon but maybe.
Anyway Tony found a great ride. He has always wanted to bike across the US and this planned fund raiser just fell in his lap. Fuller Center for Housing is having their first annual bike across the US fund raiser and they are biking from San Diego to Savannah. What an adventure for Tony. Finally he has a dream come true.
So needless to say he is out shopping for a road bike and well he should. He never spends money on himself so I am happy for him. Me, what am I going to do while Tony is biking across America, well I haven't decided yet. I might volunteer at the Care-A-Vanner desk in Americus for a month, or I might just go back to Michigan with side trips to Chicago and maybe Cleveland and just kick back and relax for a while. We'll see.
In the meantime stay tuned for the on-going saga of our adventures down the road.

August 8 The End of a Perfect Ride!

Thanks for hanging in there for Tony, he made the Atlantic and dipped his front tire into the water. The bikers were overjoyed to be at the finish line, but this is just the beginning of a lifelong commitment for them to help others and spread the word! Final statistics for Tony’s bike trip across America Total days: 56 Total biking days: 45 Average miles per day: 75 Total miles: 3322 Less truck driving days and breakdowns (broken spokes, etc): 404 Miles biked by Tony: 3017 (probably among the top 3) Total broken spokes by Tony: 5 Total broken spokes by everyone else: 0 Total flats by Tony: about 13 Total flats by everyone else: unknown – one person only had 3 Total money raised to date: $5,088 which means somewhere in the Democratic Republic of the Congo an entire house will be built with the funds raised by my friends and relatives – THANK YOU!
