Mankato, Minnesota a city to remember!

We signed up for a Habitat for Humanity Build in Mankato Minnesota because we have very special friends there and thought we could get to see them. We were strangers to Mankato but no longer. Thank you Tony & Kathy F, had a wonderful time in your fair city and want to come back.


Tony F and Tony C were classmates in high school and college so it was great to spend time together. Tony F even came to help us build on our Habitat site. We had such a great time and there are so many bike paths that Tony C was biking every day getting ready for his 'Fuller Center Bike Adventure' this summer of 3,300 miles in 56 days from San Diego to Savannah. It's a fundraiser so anyone that wants to contribute for Tony C can go online if you GOOGLE Fuller Center for Housing you will get to the website for the bike ride and you can donate for Tony C there.

We are having such a great winter vacation, it is coming to an end as we head back to Michigan for a short time, but we have pictures and memories. I hope to update this blog with some fill in.

I got a comment from a wonderful person asking about the Utah Parks and not forgetting Arches. Well we got to Arches and yes it was rare beauty. I am adding a picture here for her benefit.

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!
