Summer Plans

So as you may know by now, my parents and I have planned a cross-country bike trip to raise money for two organizations that we have grown close to. Our ride is going to start June 15th in Astoria, OR and we will make our way back towards the east coast, hopefully ending August 6th in Westerly, RI. We will be covering over 3400 miles and 12 states. Week 1 we will be traveling through Oregon stopping in St. Helens, Wellches/Rhododendron, Warm Springs, Mitchell, John Day, Baker City, and Ontario. Week 2 we leave Oregon and make our way through Idaho staying in Boise, Mountain Home, Twin Falls, Burley, Blackfoot, and Idaho Falls for a two day rest stop. Next we cover Wyoming by way of Jackson, Dubois, Riverton, Waltman, Casper, and Lusk. We'll ride through Dakota Junction, Nebraska, Merriman, Springview, Spencer, Crofton and ending week 4 in Sioux City, Indiana. Week 5 includes stops in Rockwell City, Williams, Independence, Dubuque, Indiana then Illinois through Rockford and spending 2 days in Chicago. Week 6 covers three states stopping in South Bend and Angola, Indiana, Perrysburg, Norwalk, and Akron, Ohio, and crossing into Pennsylvania at Grove City. The home stretch stops in DuBois, Clarence, Williamsport, Wilkes-Barre, and Milford, PA, West Point, New York, West Haven, Connecticut, and dipping our tires in The Atlantic in Westerly, Rhode Island. We hope to see all of you when we pass through your areas, and you are more than welcome to join us at any point if you want to get a little. exercise. Well I guess it's time to start training- Ben
