Please join us in support to raise funds and awareness of the Chikumbuso Women and Orphans Project and World Bicycle Relief as we bike from coast to coast June-August 2010.

Our goals:

To provide a well for a community soccer field in the compound of Ng’ombe in Zambia currently used by the Chikumbuso Grassroot Soccer Team. Chikumbuso provides free education and meals to 300 orphans as well as empowering widows and single moms through microenterprise projects.

Estimated cost- $10,000

Raise funds to donate 100 bicycles for an entire school through WBR- Bicycle Educational Empowerment Program. WBR has pledged to supply 50,000 bicycles to schools in Zambia. Recognizing the particular vulnerability of female children and the importance of educating girls, 70% of student recipients will be girls.

The Lone Ranger

This morning I started the ride by myself from Sandy. With our ride coming up 20 mile short of RHODEDRENDON yesterday, I was obliged to go back. Sabrina and Ben joined me after I crested the summit of Mount Hood and they coasted down the next 25 mile to Warm Springs. During the leg we crossed the 45th parallel, half way between the Equator and the North Pole. When I passed summit at Government Camp, the elevation was 4024 ft. BIG NEWS – Sabrina, 50 years old, went pee in the woods! We biked down into this gorgeous canyon and ended up in the Lake Simtustus campground on the Warm Springs Indian reservation. Wayne cooked us up a delicious chili dinner and the campground was beautiful. Sabrina was especially impressed with the BATHROOM! So my total mileage for the day was 85+, NO PROBLEMO.

Keep Them Wheels a Rollin’
