There have been many quirky little things along the way, so I thought I’d start compiling a list of things I “learn” as we go. Things I’ve learned week one: 1) Never ride your bike down a hill with your mouth open—lots of bugs! 2) We stayed near George on …
How we spent our day off…. We started our day with breakfast and picking up some miscellaneous things. Let’s just say our cart looked like we were having a scavenger hunt—what would you do with the following?—canned air, foamboard, duck tape, pumice stone, nails, utility knife, sunglasses, hammer, “feminine” things, …
A little disappointed:( Today was a relaxing day but a little disappointing. Joan and I found a bike shop to replace a mirror that I broke and found a good breakfast. Then we got on the bikes and took the bike trail up towards Spokane. It was 95 so the …

It was a long day, but a good one…. We were up very early this morning with lots of excitement and anticipation to greet our day. We headed over to the Queen Anne Post Office at 9:30am and met with JoAnn and her crew from Branch 79—great people!! Then the …
Relaxing in Seattle before we head out… We’ve had a relaxing day enjoying Seattle before we head out tomorrow morning. We did an interview with Chris Sullivan for AM710 which was great—getting the media going is crucial for getting the word out for people to write their letter of hope. …
Driving west to bicycle east—our journey from St. Paul almost to Seattle…. We left St. Paul on Wednesday afternoon not really having any plan on exactly how far we’d get each day. We made it to Aberdeen,SD on Wed. evening—headed out very early Thursday morning and got all the way to …
