9.11.12 September getting stronger while biking


...I'm biking the Trail 14 miles

I just keep getting more miles in every week and feel good.  There are not enough hours in the day to get everything done and then of course something goes wrong, like the gas tank on my Jimmy has a hole in it and as I'm pumping gas into the truck while the engine is running, because i was having trouble starting it, and all of a sudden the attendant (I made her day) came running out and asked that i stop pumping gas because it was pouring out of the tank onto the ground.  Boy was i embarrassed, i stopped pumping and got in my car and took off.  So not very much gas in the tank but i made it home without blowing up, thanks to the Dear Lord.  Life is an adventure...

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!
