2011-08-03 Biking for Fuller

The guys just in from 111 miles of biking, hot and thirsty. They took showers, then we had a Wendys then back to Danville we went.

Tony & I are now in Indianapolis, Indiana after the Fuller Center Bike Adventure went through town. Tony & son Mike biked from Danville, Illinois to Indianapolis 111 miles. This ride is to raise money to build houses for those in need. Fuller was founded by Millard Fuller who founded Habitat for Humanity. Millard passed away but his spirit and dream live on in Habitat and Fuller Center.My participation was driver and picture taker but son Mike took some pictures also. I drove Tony to Danville, then I drove back 90 miles. After the ride I drove Mike back to his car in Danville then 90 miles back, so that is what I mean by driving.

Stay tuned.

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!
